Standard VAT
Usually you charge 21% VAT. A 9% rate applies to food, books and some services, among others. The invoice shows the amount excl. VAT, the rate and the VAT amount per rate. Your VAT ID must be on it.

Required details
What must be on an invoice?
These are the mandatory invoice details in the Netherlands. The generator helps you not to forget any of them.
Based on the invoice requirements of the Dutch Tax Administration (Art. 35a Dutch VAT Act 1968) and the Trade Register Act. In doubt? Ask your accountant.
What has to be on it
- The invoice date
- A unique, sequential invoice number
- Your name or business name and address
- Your customer's name and address
- Your VAT identification number (btw-id), except under the KOR
- Your KvK (Chamber of Commerce) number
- The delivery date, if it differs from the invoice date
- What you delivered and how much
- The amount excl. VAT, the VAT rate and the VAT amount per rate
- The total amount
- For reverse charge or the KOR: the right note on the invoice
VAT without the headache
VAT, KOR and reverse charge
Which VAT note belongs on your invoice?
Invoice under the KOR
Do you use the Dutch small business scheme (KOR)? Then you charge no VAT and mention no VAT on your invoice: no rate, no VAT amount and no VAT number. You do state that you are exempt under the KOR. Choose KOR above and the generator takes care of it.
Reverse charge (btw verlegd)
With reverse charge your customer accounts for the VAT instead of you, for example for subcontracting in construction. You charge 0% VAT, put 'Btw verlegd' (reverse charge) on the invoice and include your customer's VAT number.

Frequently asked questions
Is the invoice generator really free?
Yes. Create as many invoices as you like, without an account and at no cost. A small line at the bottom of the PDF says it was made with EenFactuurMaken.nl.
Do you store my invoice or details?
No. The invoice is created in your own browser. Your details, your logo and the PDF never go to our server. If you tick 'Remember my business details', only your own browser keeps your business details, logo and design. You delete them with one click.
Do I need an account?
No. An account is useful if you want to keep your invoices, number them automatically, send them by email or track payments. That's free for 5 invoices a month.
Can I use this as an invoice template?
Yes. Pick one of the three styles, add your logo and adjust the colours. Tick 'Remember my business details' and your details and design are already filled in next time.
How do I number my invoices?
Invoice numbers must be unique and sequential, for example 2026-001, 2026-002. Keep track of the last number you used. With a free account, EenFactuurMaken.nl numbers your invoices automatically.
Can I create an invoice without VAT?
Yes, if you use the KOR or if the VAT is reverse charged. Choose KOR or Reverse charge. The generator adds the mandatory note and leaves out the VAT.
Is a PDF invoice valid?
Yes. A PDF invoice is a valid invoice as long as all mandatory details are on it. The generator shows you what is still missing.
How is this different from a free account?
With an account, EenFactuurMaken.nl keeps your invoices and customers, numbers automatically, sends invoices by email, sends reminders and also creates an e-invoice (UBL) for Peppol. Pro (unlimited) costs 7 euros a month.
