VAT (BTW) Return

Income tax returns

Income tax returns are based on the calendar year. You can start filing your income tax report on March 1st of the following year for the reporting period.

  • Standard Deadline: If no extension is requested, the report must be filed by May 1st.
  • Extended Deadlines:
  • - If the freelancer requests an extension themselves, the deadline is extended to September 30th of the same year.
  • - If the extension is requested through Xolo’s partner, the deadline is extended to May 1st of the following year (17 months after the calendar year-end).

Make sure to plan accordingly to meet the required deadlines!

As a ZZP'er (Zelfstandige Zonder Personeel) or self-employed individual, you are responsible for managing and paying your taxes. Here's a guide to help you understand the two main types of tax payments you'll encounter: VAT (BTW) and Income Tax (Inkomstenbelasting).

VAT (BTW) Return

  • Frequency: Typically filed quarterly (some freelancers may file monthly or annually).
  • Payment Deadline: The VAT owed must be paid by the same deadline as the return, usually the last day of the month following the reporting period (e.g., for Q1, file and pay by April 30th).
  • Payment Method:
  • - Use the payment reference provided in your VAT return.
  • - Make the payment via bank transfer or online banking to the Belastingdienst’s bank account.
  • Refunds: If you are owed a refund, it will be credited to your registered bank account.

Income Tax (Inkomstenbelasting)

  • When to File: Income tax is filed annually for the previous calendar year (January 1 – December 31).
  • Deadline: The standard deadline is May 1st, but extensions can be requested, moving the deadline to September 30th.
  • Payment:
  • - If you owe taxes, you’ll receive a notice with the exact amount in 6-8 weeks and payment reference.
  • - Pay the amount via bank transfer to the Belastingdienst account provided.
