Specifically for dropshippers
What we pay extra attention to for dropshippers.
OSS return
With the One Stop Shop, you file a single return for all your EU sales to consumers. We make sure you charge the right rate for each country.
Imports from outside the EU
If your products come from China, for example, import duties, import VAT and possibly IOSS come into play. We map your flow of goods and set up your accounts accordingly.
Margins per channel
Advertising costs, platform fees and returns eat into your margin. With connected platforms, you see what you really earn per channel.
Costs we often see for dropshippers.
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).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions from dropshippers
Do I have to charge VAT for customers in Germany or Belgium as a dropshipper?+
Above the EU threshold, you charge the VAT of your customer's country and declare it via OSS. Below it, you can usually charge Dutch VAT. We monitor that threshold for you.
Can you connect Shopify and Stripe?+
Yes. Online shop and payment integrations process your revenue and costs automatically. You pay a fixed monthly fee per integration.
Is dropshipping a business for tax purposes?+
If you sell independently, on your own account and with the aim of making a profit, it usually is. You may then also qualify for the entrepreneur's allowance (ondernemersaftrek) if you meet the conditions.
Am I tied to a contract as a dropshipper?+
No. Your subscription can be cancelled monthly and you pay a fixed monthly fee, with no hourly billing.
Can I switch halfway through the year?+
Yes. We arrange the handover with your current accountant, including history, opening balance and ongoing tax returns.
