your fiscal partner in the netherlands
We handle your VAT obligations across the EU,
acting as your VAT agent and fiscal representative – so you don’t need to pay VAT up front on your EU imports.
VAT representation
Want to keep your cross-docking shipment moving and your cashflow strong? Just leave your entire VAT administration to Cableroad.
As a non EU exporter, you need to pay 21% or 9% cash VAT over the value of your goods on entry into the EU via the Netherlands. You can reclaim this VAT from the Dutch tax authorities, but that takes many months and involves a lot of admin. However, if you appoint Cableroad as your fiscal representative, we defer your VAT payment, so you can keep your cash in your business.
We can do your intake in less than 24 hours if needed. As your Limited Fiscal Representative (LFR), licenced under Article 23 of the Dutch value added tax law, we arrange:
- Appointment of Cableroad as your LFR
- EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) for customs purposes
- Deferment of your VAT payment on entry through our VAT license
- VAT administration (covering imports, local supplies, intra-EU deliveries/ intracommunity supplies and export deliveries)
- European sales listing (ESL)
- Intrastat return (for statistical purposes)
- VAT tax return – in which the deferred payment is set against the corresponding refund, resulting in 0% VAT
VAT REPRESENTATION
You can also appoint Cableroad as your General Fiscal Representative. In that case:
- Your will obtain your own VAT number (this takes 2-5 weeks)
- You can request your own Art. 23 license for deferment of import-VAT (requires a deposit or bank guarantee of at least EUR 5,000)
- You can facilitate supplies from your EU-based manufacturers and suppliers directly to your EU-based clients, no need to export and re-import
Cableroad, as your General Fiscal Representative, takes care of this entire process and all administration and filings under the GFR scheme.
RELATED SERVICES
Besides providing turnkey VAT solutions, we’re here to help with any other issues you may face getting your goods into the EU. With the broad background of our people, plus our extensive network of local service providers, we have the brains and boots on the ground to get your shipment and your business moving – fast. For example, we can help you with:
- Direct representation for customs (Importer of Record – IOR)
- GPSR compliance (EU General Product Safety Regulations)
- CBAM (EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) compliance
- Tracking down any goods lost in transit
- Prefinancing of import duties
- Full review of your corporate structure
ONE STOP SHOP SERVICES
Our One Stop Shop (OSS) services allow you to keep stock in the Netherlands and sell directly to consumers in the EU (B2C) via your own webshop. For all your B2C sales in the EU, you only need to pay VAT to the Dutch tax authorities.
You can benefit without a VAT registration in the Netherlands. In that case, Cableroad, as an officially licensed intermediary for OSS with the Dutch tax authorities, uses its own VAT licence to handle your imports and takes care of the VAT payment and filing for your European webshop sales.
If in time you do want your own VAT number, Cableroad can arrange one in two to five weeks.
VAT WAREHOUSING AND EXCISE BONDED REGIME
Cableroad has an administrative VAT warehouse license. This can benefit you if you trade in specific products in bulk (for example tea, grain, tapioca, etc.) that are stored in the Netherlands. With us as your representative, you pay 0% VAT on the supply of these products.
Non-EU buyers and sellers of excise goods (mineral oils, alcoholic beverages and tobacco) in an excise warehouse are obliged to appoint a Dutch VAT representative in order to qualify for the 0% VAT rate. Cableroad is happy to provide this essential service. We can also handle the admin around excise duty payments once your goods leave the excise warehouse.
