Article 23 VAT Netherlands
The Netherlands is the only country in the European Union (EU) with a favourable import tax facility, called article 23 license VAT. This license enables importers to avoid immediate payment of VAT upon importation (VAT deferral). For example: when a non-EU company import goods into the EU, it needs to file a VAT return and pay the 21% VAT upfront. Consequently, the importer can reclaim the paid VAT later in his next VAT tax return (next month). From a cashflow perspective this has a negative impact (pay first and reclaim later).
Import VAT deferral – article 23 VAT
When the importer of the goods has the so called article 23 VAT it has a deferral in paying Dutch VAT from the date of import to the date it files the periodic VAT return. What happens is that VAT chargeable from the import is deducted also in the same periodic VAT return.
We have a very successful track record in applying this article 23 VAT in the Netherlands. Therefore, we have prepared a brochure of the article 23 VAT Netherlands.
