1. You do not have a VAT ID (yet) You are allowed to complete your first three gigs without a VAT ID. In that case, your invoices will be VAT-free. Have you received a VAT ID in the meantime? Add it to your profile immediately. From that moment on, we will include VAT on your invoices.
2. You are using the KOR Are you participating in the Small Business Scheme (KOR)? Then you do not have to charge or pay VAT. Please note: the KOR applies from the starting date of your registration. For example, does your KOR start on April 1st? Then all invoices created after April 1st are VAT-free, even if you performed the gig in March. You simply include that invoice in your next tax return.
3. VAT reverse-charged (Btw verlegd) It is also possible that your invoice states "VAT reverse-charged" (btw verlegd). This occurs with clients who are based abroad, for example. You reverse the VAT so that the client can then pay it. This means you do not receive VAT on your invoice, but you must still file a VAT return. Be sure to check this.
