You can apply for a VAT ID in two different ways. Are you unsure which one to choose? Read the differences here. You can apply for a VAT ID at:
The Tax Authorities (Belastingdienst) You can apply for your VAT ID via the Tax Authorities. Applying for a VAT ID via the Tax Authorities is free of charge. You do this by fully completing the ‘Opgaaf Startende Onderneming’ (Statement of Starting Business) document and sending it by post to the Tax Authorities. You will receive your VAT ID within approximately two weeks.

Tip: We notice that the Tax Authorities sometimes lose forms. Have you not heard anything after two weeks? Then contact the Tax Authorities to check if your form has been received.
Pro Tip: Do you find this difficult? You can have the form checked by us first! Fill in the form via this link, and we will check your VAT application before you send it. We will then send it back to you checked. You print it out and send it by post to the Tax Authorities.
