Netherlands Invoice Generator
Factuur - Nederland
Creating invoices in Netherlands requires compliance with local tax regulations. Every invoice must include your KVK-nummer (tax identification number) and, if you are VAT-registered, your BTW-nummer. The applicable VAT rates in Netherlands are: 21% (standard), 9% (reduced). Invoices must use a sequential numbering system and include both the issue date and delivery date.
If your annual turnover stays below 20,000 EUR, you may qualify for the small business exemption known as Kleineondernemersregeling (KOR). Under 20,000 EUR annual turnover, VAT exempt under KOR scheme.
For cross-border B2B services within the EU, the reverse charge mechanism applies. Instead of charging VAT, you include the statement: "BTW verlegd naar de afnemer op grond van art. 12 lid 2 Wet OB 1968." on your invoice. Our generator handles all of this automatically — just select your country and invoice type.
