Invoice from Dutch company

YBM

Question

Hello everyone,

Before starting my sole proprietor, I had to take a course and then sit an exam. The company that administered the exam is a Dutch company with a Dutch company number.

The company charged 21% vAT and did not make use of the ‘reverse charge’ rule (which I was not familiar with at the time 🙂 ).

Without incurring these costs, I would not have been able to carry out my self-employed work, so I suspect that I am entitled to a vAT deduction.

How can I recover the vAT in my case?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Younes

I'm afraid so, Younes :s

Unless you can ask that company to add a credit note for the old invoice with foreign vAT and then issue a new invoice with reverse-charged vAT.

But otherwise, I don't think there's any way... Small consolation: you can include incorrectly charged foreign vAT in your expenses, so that foreign vAT isn't completely useless :-)

But that's perhaps very little consolation.

Thank you for your response.

That's what I was afraid of.

I'll try to get a credit note and issue a new invoice with reverse-charged vAT. Thanks for the tip!

Kind regards,

Younes
