Article 23 licence

Import into the Netherlands without paying VAT at the border

With an Article 23 licence, import VAT moves from customs to your periodic Dutch VAT return, where you report and deduct it at the same time. A company established outside the Netherlands cannot apply for the licence itself. It needs a Dutch fiscal representative, and that is the role we take on.

Illustrative, based on the Dutch standard VAT rate of 21%. Your position depends on your goods, rates and deduction rights.
