How can
we help you?

You can start selling your service(s) without a VAT number, but it's obligatory to register your company as a VAT payer if:

• Your turnover reaches €40 000 from the beginning of a calendar year (an exception applies when selling EXCLUSIVELY outside the EU) OR
• You start providing 'digital' services (software, digital content, etc) to individuals or companies in the European Union without a valid VAT number based on the VIES database (meaning that your company has to be registered for the OSS Scheme) OR
• You start selling physical goods OR
• You buy goods annually over €10 000 from the EU to your company's name.

If the conditions mentioned above are not met, applying for VAT-payer status is voluntary.

If you need to register a VAT number for your company, please go to your self-service, choose 'Add-on services' and click 'Purchase' under 'VAT number registration'. We’ll send you information about the steps you need to complete. The VAT number registration fee is €69 + VAT.
