Free: VAT reverse-charge scan
Do you work as a subcontractor or main contractor in construction, installation technology, or cleaning? Then you deal with the VAT reverse-charge scheme every day. It sounds simple, but the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst) is strict: a faulty invoice or incorrect return can lead to steep back-tax assessments that eat straight into your profit.
Sophy & Co. helps you rule out these risks with our free, one-time scan of your invoicing process.
Within 15 minutes, you'll know whether your system is watertight. You'll get instant feedback, and we'll show you how to fully automate this in the Sophy & Co. app, so you never have to worry about it again.
"Don't pay your client's VAT out of your own pocket. Take the scan."
Everything you need to know about our service
In construction, VAT is often shifted from the subcontractor to the main contractor. This means you charge 0% VAT on your invoice, but you do need to include the correct wording. We make sure your invoices meet all the requirements of the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst).
If you work as a subcontractor, a main contractor may ask for this to protect themselves against chain liability. We advise you on applying for and managing it.
Yes! Investments in business assets over €450 are often deductible. With the KIA scheme (small-scale investment deduction), you can often benefit even further. Sophy & Co. calculates exactly which advantage you can claim.
That depends on the ratio of business to private kilometers. We calculate the most favorable option for you: putting the car on the business or a mileage allowance of €0.23 per kilometer.
If you're the main contractor, subcontractors shift the VAT to you. You need to declare this VAT, but you can often deduct it again immediately as input tax. We check that these invoices meet the invoicing requirements, including the mandatory description of the work and the G-account details.
