Netherlands Tax & Filing Deadlines
Every Netherlands statutory deadline a founder needs to know. Penalties, checklists and source links to Belastingdienst (Dutch Tax and Customs Administration) and KVK (Kamer van Koophandel) / Handelsregister.
Aangifte Vennootschapsbelasting (Corporate Tax Return)
The annual Dutch corporate income tax return that every BV, NV, and other VPB-liable entity must file electronically with the Belastingdienst within 5 months of the financial year-end.
Aangifte Inkomstenbelasting (Personal Income Tax Return)
The annual Dutch personal income tax return covering Box 1 (work and home), Box 2 (substantial shareholdings), and Box 3 (savings and investments). DGAs declare their gebruikelijk loon salary in Box 1 and dividends received in Box 2.
Kwartaalaangifte BTW (Quarterly VAT Return)
The standard quarterly BTW (VAT) return for most Dutch SMEs with annual taxable turnover below EUR 1 million. Filed electronically via Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk by the last working day of the month following each quarter.
Jaarrekening Deponeren bij KvK (Annual Accounts Filing)
Every Dutch BV must deposit its annual accounts (jaarrekening) with the Kamer van Koophandel (KvK) within 12 months of the financial year-end. Late filing is an economic offence that removes the directors' defence against personal liability in insolvency.
Aangifte Loonheffingen (Payroll Tax Declaration)
Monthly payroll tax and social contributions declaration covering wage tax (loonbelasting), national insurance (volksverzekeringen), and employee insurance contributions (werknemersverzekeringen). Due by the last working day of the month following each payroll period.
Opgaaf ICP (Intra-Community Transactions Report)
The quarterly declaration of all intra-EU B2B supplies of goods and services to VAT-registered businesses in other EU member states. Separate from the BTW return and required to validate the zero-rating applied on Dutch invoices for intra-EU supplies.
Voorlopige Aanslag VPB (Provisional Corporate Tax Assessment)
Provisional corporate tax assessment (voorlopige aanslag VPB) that allows a Dutch BV to pay estimated VPB in monthly instalments throughout the year, avoiding a large lump-sum payment when the final assessment arrives. The Belastingdienst issues provisional assessments based on prior-year profit, but companies should request a revised assessment if current-year profit differs materially.
