Deadline (de)registering for KOR arrangement

Do you expect your annual turnover to remain below € 20.000 in the coming years? And do you wish to participate in the small business VAT exemption arrangement (KOR)? Then make sure you have registered this with the Tax Office before December 3rd next. Entrepreneurs who apply for the KOR are exempt from VAT and have fewer administrative obligations. For instance, they usually don not have to file a VAT return. However, the KOR can also be disadvantageous, as for instance, entrepreneurs with the KOR cannot deduct VAT on expenses.

If you have turnover taxable in another EU country for VAT, you may be able to qualify for a similar VAT exemption arrangement in. The regulations change as per 1-1-2025 in order to unify the schemes in various countries. An important condition is that the EU-wide annual turnover must remain below the €100.000 limit. For more information about the regulations, please contact our office.

They’ve handled my taxes for years, and I hope they will for years to come. Thanks 🙏🏼”
