Frequently asked questions
What does the VAT Submission Preparation agent check exactly?
The agent verifies all transactions for correct VAT codes (standard/reduced/reverse-charged/exempt) and amounts, based on Dutch VAT rules and your chart of accounts, and compares them with historical data to flag unusual patterns. It also verifies intra-EU transactions, including checking VAT numbers of EU customers, and flags missing verifications.
What does this agent cost?
Standard agents like this one start from €2,500; a custom implementation tailored to your systems starts from €5,000. You can start with a free AI scan to see which quick wins apply to your business.
How long does implementation take?
Implementation typically takes about 3 weeks, including configuring your VAT rules and any special schemes.
How is sensitive financial data protected?
Financial data is processed on EU servers and encrypted, and we can sign a data processing agreement. Only authorized accountants have access per client, and the agent only accesses the transaction data needed to prepare the filing.
Which accounting systems does the agent work with?
The agent works with Dutch accounting packages such as Exact Online, AFAS, Yuki and Twinfield, and can optionally connect to Digipoort and Mijn Belastingdienst for submission.
Can the agent also submit the filing, or just prepare it?
By default, the agent prepares the filing and generates a draft with justification for you to review. Submitting via Digipoort can be automated, but most accountants prefer to review and submit the final filing manually.
What if we work with special VAT schemes?
Special VAT schemes such as the KOR small business scheme, the agricultural scheme or the margin scheme can be configured during implementation, based on your client portfolio. We adjust the configuration if VAT rules or your accounting software change.
