VAT exempt

Some supplies are exempt from VAT, for example certain healthcare (doctors, physiotherapists, psychologists), education, childcare and financial services. You then don't charge VAT. Choose VAT exempt in the editor.

The reason on your invoice

An exempt invoice should state the legal basis of the exemption. By default EenFactuurMaken.nl prints VAT exempt (Art. 11 Dutch VAT Act 1968). The exact article is better. Enter it under Exemption reason:

• per invoice in the editor, or
• as a default under Settings → Invoices & numbering (Exemption reason (for exempt invoices)).

The invoice then says, for example, VAT exempt (art. 11 lid 1 onderdeel g Wet OB 1968). Without your own reason you get a tip (exemptReasonRecommended). Your accountant knows which article applies to you.

VAT ID

Do you have a VAT ID (for example because you also have taxed turnover)? Put it on your invoice. If you're only exempt and have no VAT ID, you can still finalise the invoice; you just get a tip.

All exempt?

Is all your work exempt? In the welcome guide choose I am exempt, or under Settings → Invoices & numbering set the VAT treatment to VAT exempt. Every new invoice then gets this treatment.

E-invoice and VAT overview

In the e-invoice we use VAT category E with your reason. In the VAT overview exempt turnover is shown separately; you don't report it in your VAT return.
