Hardly any vAT deductible despite expenses?

2024-04-11

Question

Can someone clarify this for me:

I have €1,900 (excl. VAT) in purchases for this quarter, but only €4.42 of that is deductible VAT?

A large part of this is social security contributions, on which no deductible VAT is calculated, which I understand.But I have also purchased some software tools that I need to do my job, with a total amount of around €200.

If I understand correctly, this is 100% deductible, right? Why is this not deducted, from where does that €4 come?

Could this have something to do with the fact that they are foreign companies?

Invoice only received on the new financial year, but still with the date from the previous (closed) financial year. Still to be entered. It is a cost with reverse-charged vAT.
