From January 1, 2025, the regulations regarding correcting VAT returns will change. Have you declared too little VAT (or too much)? Then you are required to correct this within eight weeks of discovery with a supplementary VAT Return. This means you must act faster to avoid risks such as fines.
What is changing?
Previously, it was sufficient to submit a VAT correction "as soon as possible" after discovery. From 2025, this period has been tightened: you must take action within eight weeks of discovering an error. If this period is exceeded, the Dutch Tax Authorities can impose a fine of up to 100% of the VAT amount.
What does this mean for your company?
Correcting faster
You will have less time to correct VAT errors in your administration. This requires sharper control and a well-organized administration.
Risk of fines
Exceeding the period can lead to high fines. Therefore, it is essential to detect and correct errors immediately.
Avoiding tax interest
To avoid tax interest, supplementary VAT Returns for 2024 must be submitted before April 1, 2025. You have to ensure that the annual accounts are completed on time.

We recommend regularly checking the administration to timely discover any VAT errors. We also recommend optimizing processes to respond quickly and avoid fines. Do you need support with this?
