New regulation VAT supplements applicable as of January 1, 2025
From January 1, 2025, a new obligation will apply with regard to VAT supplementations: if it is found that too little VAT has been declared and paid, this must be corrected within eight weeks by submitting a VAT supplementation to the Tax Authorities. This significantly tightens the replenishment deadline, or at least there is less room for ambiguity. Failure to comply with the replenishment obligation may result in the imposition of fines. In the case of intent or gross negligence, there may even be a fine of up to 100%.

Action on taxation in box 3
As we all know, there has been a lot of recent movement on box 3 taxation. Box 3 primarily taxes savings, investments and real estate. The assets in this box were previously taxed on the basis of a flat rate of return: the tax authorities set an assumed percentage, regardless of the actual return. This meant that many taxpayers paid taxes on a return they had not actually received. You may also have overpaid taxes in the past. If so, chances are you may be eligible for legal redress!
Request for debt restructuring and Corona: the tax collector thinks along
Until further notice, the Tax Authorities will approach requests for restructuring of tax debts with a flexible attitude. This applies in particular to requests from entrepreneurs whose businesses are fundamentally sound and who have been affected by the Corona crisis. For these entrepreneurs, the generous corona deferral policy may prove to be of no avail.
Assessment of employment relationships and the DBA Act: Employee or self-employed person?
A widely used employment relationship is the ZZP construction. This employment relationship has a number of advantages for entrepreneurs and it is a good alternative to temporary work and (temporary) employment contracts. It is therefore a subject that has been the subject of much debate in recent years, more specifically, when is there an agreement for services or an employment contract?
Fiscal support measures during Corona crisis
