Specifically for coaches
What we pay extra attention to for coaches.
VAT or exemption
Training, coaching and education are treated differently for tax purposes. For each service, we assess whether VAT applies and whether CRKBO registration makes sense for you.
Keeping track of the hours criterion
To claim the self-employed deduction (zelfstandigenaftrek), you must spend 1,225 hours on your business (urencriterium). Acquisition and preparation count too; we help you keep track.
Small business scheme
If your turnover stays below the KOR threshold, you can opt for the VAT exemption under the small business scheme (kleineondernemersregeling, KOR). We calculate whether that is beneficial for you.
Costs we often see for coaches.
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).

Besides your sessions, preparation, admin and acquisition also count. Keep track of your hours; we show you where you stand.
Is the KOR right for me?+
If your turnover stays below the threshold and most of your clients are private individuals, the KOR can be beneficial. We calculate it for you.
