Start free

Free for 5 invoices a month. Pro from € 8 a month.

Set for Netherlands

Made for how the Netherlands invoices.

VAT

21% is the general rate. 9% covers food, medicines, books and a few services such as hairdressing and bicycle repair. Locally the tax is called btw.

VAT ID

The btw-id is NL, nine digits, the letter B and two more digits.

EUR and local dates

Amounts are in euros, and you can pick another currency on any invoice. A bank statement you upload is read the way banks in the Netherlands write dates.

Financial year from 1 January

Invoice numbers start a new series each January, so the first invoice of the year is OG/2026/0001.

What an invoice needs to show in the Netherlands.

The Belastingdienst asks for these on every invoice:

  1. Your full name and address, your btw-id and your KVK number
  2. Your customer’s full name and address
  3. The invoice date and a unique number in sequence
  4. The date of supply
  5. The quantity and type of goods or services
  6. The amount before btw, the rate and the btw amount, per rate
  7. Your customer’s btw-id and the words “btw verlegd” when the reverse charge applies

Check with your accountant for your case.

FAQ

Questions from the Netherlands.

Does Openn Invoice make a proper invoice for the Netherlands?

Yes. Add your VAT ID in settings and each invoice is titled “Invoice”, with VAT worked out line by line at the rate you pick (21%, 9% and 0%) and totals in euros. What it has to show in the Netherlands is listed on this page. Check with your accountant for your case.

Does it file my VAT return?

No. Openn Invoice makes invoices and shows who has paid. It does not file returns or keep full accounts. Paid plans include a tax report and CSV downloads to hand to your accountant.

I am not registered for VAT. Can I still use it?

Yes. Leave the VAT ID empty in settings and send invoices with no VAT on them. Under the KOR scheme (kleineondernemersregeling), businesses with turnover up to €20,000 a year can opt out of charging btw.

Can I bill customers outside the Netherlands?

Yes. Pick the customer’s country and currency on the invoice. A VAT-registered customer in another EU country is billed under the reverse charge, with no VAT added. A customer outside the EU is billed as an export. You see the reason on the invoice before you send it.

What does it cost in the Netherlands?

Free covers 5 invoices a month. Pro is € 8 a month or € 69 a year, with unlimited invoices, recurring invoices and bank statement matching. Prices exclude VAT.

Are the app and the invoices in Dutch?

Not yet. The app and the printed labels on invoices are in English. What you type, such as item descriptions, notes and terms, can be in any language.
