Netherlands Mandates Digital VAT Refunds for Non-EU Businesses via New Portal
Summary
From April 1, 2026, the Netherlands will require non-EU businesses to file VAT refund claims exclusively through an online portal, replacing paper submissions. Access requires DigiD or eHerkenning, which may be challenging for nonresident businesses and increase reliance on local agents. The change supports digitalization but adds administrative complexity for foreign taxpayers.

Access to the portal requires DigiD or eHerkenning authentication, which can be complex and time-consuming for nonresident businesses. As a result, companies may need to rely on local agents to manage filings and ensure compliance.
The move reflects broader digitalization of tax administration, improving efficiency and control. However, it introduces practical challenges for non-EU businesses, particularly around access and onboarding, potentially increasing reliance on intermediaries and administrative costs.
