Btw, mind that Carola posted her comment in 2008, so some things might have changed...

| translation company invoice does not conform to Dutch tax office requirements | May 12, 2017 |

For non-EU clients, you should not charge "0% VAT" either, but instead write "No VAT applicable" on the invoice. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
I am based in NL and have recently started working for a non-EU company. I am told by this company that I cannot make my own invoices but must use theirs, which do not specify address, VAT number, KvK number, or "No VAT applicable". My accountant wants all these details on the invoice, as required by the Belastingdienst website.
Has anyone come across this? Could you propose a solution?
Thank you,
Maria

If it's a template, discreetly insert this information somewhere.
If it's an invoicing system, create your own invoices anyway and keep both copies.

As far as I know, it is not a legal requirement that you send a valid invoice to the client. It is required that you keep a copy of an invoice that is valid. So if the client offers no way to send a valid invoice to them, or does not accept a valid invoice from you, then the solution that I use is this: I first create a valid invoice (which I save it somewhere safe, for the tax man to look at), and then on the same day I create another invoice that conforms to the client's requirements (which I then send to the client). In some cases, I put the valid invoice on page 3 of the PDF and the client's own invoice format on page 1, with a blank page in between. This way, I can use the same file name format for the PDF as my other valid invoices. But I also have clients who do not accept invoices at all, but want me to use their online accounting system. That's no problem -- on the day that I submit the "invoice" on their site, I create a valid invoice on my side, and save it as PDF in my records. I also make a note in my invoices spreadsheet that a non-valid invoice was sent to the client (and how, e.g. via their online system).

The KvK entry is not strictly necessary (at least the last time I checked in 2007). KvK Zuid Limburg is thinking about making it manadatory, however, we are currently still classed as a so-called free profession, together with artists etc.
I've never heard of the category "free professions". Do you have a URL for that?
http://www.mkbservicedesk.nl/915/vrije-beroepen-overzicht.htm
It seems to me that is mandatory, as per July 2008 to be registered at the KvK...
I also would like to start my own business as Italian Translator and Teacher. I would like to know what happens if you don't work much. Say you don't have many clients, is there a risk to end up paying more than what you earn? How difficult it is to file your own taxes quarterly if you don't have much to declare at the beginning? Thanks!\
