What is a 23 license?
When you import goods from a non-European country, you pay VAT upon importation. The (import) taxes, which include VAT, should normally be paid immediately upon importation. However, this is not necessary if you have an article 23 license.
The advantages of an article 23 license
The advantage of the Article 23 license is that you can reverse charged import VAT to your periodic VAT return. The reverse charge mechanism will be linked to your VAT number. After the license is issued, you will no longer have to pay VAT immediately upon importation. This will result in a liquidity advantage. This is because the moment of paying the (import) VAT and reclaiming it, due to the reverse charge mechanism, will fall simultaneously.
When are you eligible for a Section 23 license?
In case you import goods on a regular basis, you can apply for an article 23 license from the tax authorities. This article 23 permit is also called a reverse charge permit. The Inland Revenue Service issues this license only upon request.
Some conditions apply to the article 23 permit:
You are established in the Netherlands as an entrepreneur.
You regularly import goods from countries outside the EU.
You keep separate records that easily show how much VAT you have to pay on imports. For companies not established in the Netherlands we can support you with this option as well by becoming your Fiscal Representative. More information, ask for our support for application of the license.
ADVANTAGES OF FISCAL REPRESENTATION
As a foreign entrepreneur, you will benefit from several advantages when appointing a tax representative. These are the main ones:
Preventing pre-financing your import VAT
Once goods are imported from outside the EU, import VAT has to be paid at the border. That VAT can later be reclaimed via a Dutch VAT return. As a fiscal representative, we can apply for a so-called 'article 23 permit', which shifts the import VAT to the VAT return. Because the diverted import VAT is deductible in the same VAT return, no actual payment and pre-financing occurs anymore. This improves your cash flow!

Selling via LvB, FBA, dropshipping, own webshop where you should pay attention to the bookkeeping and taxes of these E-commerce activities.
Selling online or through seller platforms looks easy and transparant but the single processes can turn into a timeconsuming task. Especially taken all the special VAT rules into account it will dazzle most business.
Where in the normal trading business the amounts are limited in the online trading business it can go into more than hundreds of sales per day. Added the differend sales chanels to that and soon it might get confusing.
Using the FBA programm mostly vat is due in that country where you store your products; with one single check mark Amazon can store your product in 7 different EU countries. So with one single tick you are taxable in 7 countries. Just pay attention whilst setting up your account. Also all movements of goods between the FBA warehouses in other EU countries are taxable movements.
Finally you have to keep checking the distance sales amounts to private customers in other EU countries. Crossing the treshold of €35.000 or €100.000 , depending on what country, makes you taxable in that coutry and from that moment.
