As a customer of J. van de Put your EU import shipments are Customs cleared in the Netherlands and released for European trade. When importing goods import duties and VAT are levied. If you have a company with a VAT number in the Netherlands, then VAT can be levied there.
If you do not have a company in the Netherlands, then VAT will have to be transferred to your company outside the Netherlands. In such cases you use our limited fiscal representation. Then, no VAT will be charged on the invoice we send you. Each month you will be sent an overview with the amount of turnover for which you have been charged. You can then calculate applicable VAT for your country, so this can be submitted in your VAT declaration. This way, you can import goods into any given EU country, without having to have a company in the Netherlands and without having to pre-finance VAT!
Feel free to ask our staff about the conditions under which you are eligible for limited fiscal representation.
Note: If you have a Dutch VAT number or you are using full fiscal representation in the Netherlands, then you will not require limited fiscal representation.
