vAT-deductible costs are the same as professional expenses

Question

If I wanted to claim vAT on a professional expense, would those expenses be the same as those used for professional expenses (staff taxes)? In other words: I would like to select the flat-rate professional expenses (in connection with staff taxes), but can I still deduct vAT from the actual expenses via the vAT declaration and receipts? OR would those receipts be used by the government to make me pay tax on the actual professional expenses?

Interesting question, I think it should be allowed. For vAT, I think you will have to submit the actual costs, otherwise you will not be able to recover anything. But if you want to fall back on the flat rate for personal income tax, I don't see anything wrong with that. The flat rate is there, you have the choice to use it.Perhaps, but I'm not sure, you may be asked a question sooner or later. Because the vAT authorities will see that you are claiming X amount for vAT recovery and Y amount for personal income tax.

While it is allowed, I think, it is likely to raise questions :) Which is not a problem, of course.
