- When making the VAT return for the last period of the financial year, consider corrections related to private use and pro-rata related corrections
- Private use corrections include adjustments for private use of a car, gas, water, electricity, and heat, as well as for using company goods and services for non-business purposes
- Pro-rata related corrections involve calculating the pro-rata deduction percentage for the past year, which may lead to adjustments in previously deducted VAT on general costs
- Corrections on previous VAT returns of €1,000 or less can be included in the next VAT return, while higher corrections must be submitted digitally through the Belastingdienst website, own software, or through an advisor
- It may be advisable to submit the correction by post or provide a written explanation in certain cases
- If a taxpayer discovers an error in a VAT return from the past five calendar years, they are required to make a correction
