vAT exemption and purchase invoice from the Netherlands

EV
19/06/2024
Question

Hello,

I am trying to book a purchase invoice for the training course I took before starting my self-employed activity in secondary occupation. I

took this training course BEFORE the official start of my business. My business is exempt from VAT.

I do not have vAT on the invoice and therefore was not paid because the entrepreneur from whom I took the training course also enjoys vAT exemption: KOR, no vAT for small businesses, according to Dutch legislation.But now the programme tells me that I did have to pay vAT? That the entrepreneur should have charged me vAT?

This seems unfair and illogical to me…

How do I resolve this?

How do I record this correctly?

And how do I keep my accounts okay?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Els Vervliet

Dear Els,

It is difficult to give a definitive answer here without knowing all the details. I recommend that you contact our Support team. Ask them your question above. They will probably also ask you how long before starting your sole proprietor you took this course. Please also send them the invoice you are referring to and a screenshot of the notification you are receiving. They will certainly be able to help you enter your invoice correctly. You can definitely enter invoices with 0% vAT, so it is likely that there is a small error in the entry, which is causing you to receive an error message.

Kind regards,
