Dutch company with Belgian VAT number, how to create this company?

2023-04-01

Question

I have an invoice from a Dutch company with both a Dutch and Belgian VAT number. The company itself has no branch in Belgium; only a Dutch address is stated on the invoice. However, both an NL and BE VAT number are listed.

How can I enter this Belgian VAT number for this supplier?

When I select a company from the Netherlands, the programme only allows me to enter the NL number; I have no option to enter the BE VAT number from this supplier.

How should I create this Dutch supplier with a BE VAT number?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that if this company has charged you vAT, I would consider it a Belgian company. Since that company will also have to file a vAT declaration with the vAT administration. If the vAT has been reversed, you might as well use the Dutch vAT number, since you will then settle the vAT yourself.

That's correct.If that company has invoiced your Belgian vAT number (i.e. your number is on their invoice) and they charge 0% vAT (reverse-charged vAT), then they do so from their Dutch vAT number and you register them as a Dutch supplier.If that company has invoiced your Belgian vAT number (i.e. your number is stated on their invoice) and they charge 21% vAT, they do so using their Belgian vAT number and you register them as a Belgian supplier.
