0% vAT removed from VF due to legislation

SP
26/07/2025
Question

Hello everyone,

I recently started as a self-employed person under the special VAT exemption scheme for small businesses (Article 56, §2 of the vAT Act), and I use Dexxter as a user for my invoicing and accounting.

According to the regulations, I am not allowed to mention vAT on my invoices – not even “0%” or “vAT included”. The vAT must simply be completely omitted, and only the following sentence must be stated on the invoice:

However, in my current layout, a vAT column or total line is still displayed, even if I set the rate to 0. I would therefore like to completely disable/hide this.

Is there a way to change this in Dexxter? So that the column is no longer visible?

The vAT must not be omitted, but you must charge 0% vAT to all items. The vAT column and the total line for vAT may remain on the invoice. What is required is the statement "Special exemption scheme for small businesses – exempted from vAT in accordance with Article 56, §2 of the vAT Act".Dexxter's invoices are therefore completely okay for both the tax authorities and vAT.

I have since contacted support. I am still waiting for a message.

The legislation states literally:

Article 14 from Royal Decree No. 19 - Art. 14, §1
"Taxpayers who benefit from the exemption referred to in Article 56, §2 of the Code shall indicate the next on their invoices or on any document replacing the tax:

Small business subject to the tax exemption scheme. VAT not applicable.'

Other references to tax rates or vAT amounts are not permitted."

So strictly speaking, a 0% reference is not permitted.
