Starting from January 1, 2022, Dutch-based entrepreneurs and foreign entrepreneurs with a fixed establishment in the Netherlands can no longer use the old portal of the Dutch Tax Authorities for filing their VAT returns. They must now use eHerkenning on “Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk” for filing VAT returns. The old portal for entrepreneurs will permanently close on July 1, 2024, and foreign entrepreneurs without a fixed establishment in the Netherlands must transition to “Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk” for all business taxes. All VAT entrepreneurs now have to log in via eHerkenning level 3 on “Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk”. Additionally, eHerkenning is now available for certain legal forms and tax service providers without a Chamber of Commerce registration to log in to “Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk”. The reason for closing the old portal is to provide a more secure and user-friendly filing environment according to the Dutch Tax Authorities.
