Sound familiar?

The VAT challenges holding your business back

If any of this sounds uncomfortably close to your situation – you’re not alone. And it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Cash flow tied up at the border

You’re paying import VAT upfront on every shipment, before a single item is sold. That capital sits idle when it could be driving growth.

No local entity, but Dutch VAT rules still apply

Your business is based outside the Netherlands, but you import or sell here. Compliance obligations don’t disappear just because you’re not local.

Tax Authority correspondence you can’t navigate

Dutch-language letters, unfamiliar processes, unclear deadlines. It takes time you don’t have and mistakes can be costly.

EU VAT obligations multiplying as you grow

Every new country you sell in adds another registration, return, and risk. The more you grow, the heavier the administrative load becomes.

Frequently asked Questions

A: No — that’s precisely the point of fiscal representation. With Londen & Van Holland as your fiscal representative, you can operate fully in the Netherlands and comply with Dutch VAT regulations without establishing a local legal entity.

A: After an initial consultation, we can typically begin the VAT registration and Article 23 application process within days. The Dutch Tax Authorities set their own processing timelines, but we manage the entire process and keep you informed at every step.

A: Yes. Our OSS (One-Stop-Shop) VAT service allows B2C sellers to consolidate EU-wide VAT reporting into a single return filed in the Netherlands — significantly reducing your administrative burden and the number of separate registrations you need to maintain.

A: We work across a wide range of sectors — logistics, freight forwarding, e-commerce, manufacturing, raw materials importing, and more. Our team has experience with both B2B and B2C cross-border models. If you’re unsure whether we’re the right fit, just reach out — we’ll provide clear and transparent guidance.

A: Yes. Short lines and a fixed point of contact are core to how we work. You’ll always reach someone who knows your situation — not a different person each time, not someone who needs to find your file before they can help.
