I have several invoices from the Netherlands (with my vAT number on them) from before I started my self-employed activity (June ’22). I have entered these under expenses (with a fiscal date of June ’22), but should I also include them in the vAT declaration or is it better not to?
Thanks in advance for reading and hopefully someone will have the answer before I submit my first vAT declaration 🙂
But if they are from before you started your business... Then those Dutch suppliers probably charged VAT? And then the VAT impact doesn't count anyway?
Because that is foreign VAT, so you can never recover it. You can include those purchases in your vAT declaration, but you will not recover any additional vAT. (There is also a video in Dexxter about entering invoices from a foreign supplier who has charged vAT, but perhaps you have already seen it?) Maybe start with that, is that right? :)
I would like to follow up on this question. I have made purchases from BOL that were charged 6% vAT and I am not entirely sure why you cannot claim this back and what to do instead... + what is the advantage of entering them without vAT anyway... After watching the video, this is still not clear to me. Thank you!
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
