VAT calculator for event professionals in the Netherlands
Dutch VAT rates are based on the European Union's VAT Directive. There are three rates: 21%, 9% and 0%.
Most venues and professional services in the Netherlands fall under this rate. There could be an exception for foreign entrepreneurs who conduct business in foreign countries from the Netherlands. If you are an event professional registered in the Netherlands and providing your service in the Netherlands, you should be using the VAT standard rate of 21%.
This rate is applied to any common products or services, such as food and drink (non-alcohol), event props, books, magazines, etc.
Only applies to foreign entrepreneurs who conduct business in foreign countries from the Netherlands. This mainly involves the supply of goods from the Netherlands to another EU country. However, the 0% tariff also applies to some services that are provided in the Netherlands. These are services related to cross-border transactions, such as services for the international carriage of goods or work on goods that are exported to non-EU countries. The 0% tariff also applies to the international transport of passengers.
