Specifically for electricians
What we pay extra attention to for electricians.
Reverse-charged or not
Whether you reverse-charge VAT depends on each job. We check your invoices, so neither you nor your client faces an additional tax assessment.
Van and tools
A company van and expensive tools qualify for an investment allowance. We advise on buying or leasing and what that means for your deduction.
Passing on material costs
We record the materials you buy and pass on to clients per job. That way you see what you earn on each assignment.
Costs we often see for electricians.
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).
