And how do I prove this?

You do not want to be worried about the correctness of your VAT returns in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. How do you make sure that your VAT-administration is in order and that you did not pay too little VAT or miss opportunities? In addition to this, the importance of having the right data within your VAT-administration is increasing. For example, more and more countries are introducing obligations to provide additional information for every transaction conducted. We expect the Netherlands to follow this trend soon. What does this mean for your organization and how do you avoid fines, additional taxes, or on the other hand, overpaying VAT?

A quick and efficient check can help

In this way, your organization can enhance the quality of the VAT data for your internal organization, your stakeholders, and the tax authorities.

An example of the VAT-checker as a cash hunter

The use of our VAT-checker regularly shows that the structure of the VAT administration within organizations could be improved. The good news is that the VAT-checker also regularly uncovered a significant amount for which VAT had not yet been reclaimed. For example, in connection with irrecoverable or doubtful debts, because it was thought that the VAT could not be reclaimed in these situations. Organizations also tend to overlook such possibilities for VAT refunds.
