A BV comes with more obligations than a sole proprietorship: annual accounts that you file with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), a corporate income tax return, payroll and often a separate private income tax return for the DGA.
Annual costs
- Bookkeeping, tax returns and annual accounts: with us € 150 (Review) or € 200 (Full service) a month, excl. VAT
