Specifically for cleaners

What we pay extra attention to for cleaners.

VAT per type of assignment

Private customers, businesses and subcontracting each have their own VAT rules. We set up your invoices correctly for each client.

Staff and rosters

With lots of employees and varying hours, we handle payroll under the cleaning industry collective labour agreement (schoonmaak-cao).

Contracts and margins

For each contract, you see revenue against the hours worked, so you know which clients are profitable.

Costs we often see for cleaners.

Business expenses reduce your profit and therefore your tax. We make sure they are booked correctly and, where possible, that you make use of the investment deduction (investeringsaftrek).
