How often do I have to file a VAT return in the Netherlands?
The Netherlands has three filing frequencies: monthly, quarterly and annual.
In the Netherlands, VAT returns are typically filed quarterly.
| Frequency | Filing and Payment Deadline | Criteria |
| Monthly | The last working day of the second month following the reporting period | May be authorised on request by the taxpayer* or requested by Belastingdienst** |
| Quarterly | All taxpayers who don't meet the criteria for monthly or annual filing | |
| Annually | The last working day of the third month following the reporting period | VAT payment less than €1883 |
*For the purpose of reclaiming VAT via VAT returns
**When the taxable person is regularly late paying VAT
