Frequently Asked Questions 

Answers to the questions we hear most often about annual accounts, filing, and annual reporting in the Netherlands. Still have a question? Reach out and we'll help.  

Does every Dutch BV need to prepare annual accounts?

Yes. Every Dutch BV is legally required to prepare annual accounts each financial year, regardless of size or activity level, including dormant companies.

When should a Dutch BV prepare its annual accounts?

Annual accounts must be prepared within 5 months after the financial year-end, with a possible 5-month extension. They must then be filed with the KVK within 8 days of adoption, and no later than 12 months after year-end.

Can I outsource annual accounts preparation in the Netherlands?

Yes. Many Dutch BVs, especially those with foreign directors, outsource annual accounts preparation to a local accountant or service provider to ensure accuracy and compliance with Dutch reporting standards.

Do small Dutch BVs need an audit?

No. Micro and small BVs are generally exempt from statutory audit requirements. An audit is only required if a company exceeds specific size thresholds for two consecutive years.

Can foreign business owners receive annual accounts support in English?

Yes. We at FirmNL provide annual accounts preparation and filing support in English. Any foreign directors and shareholders can manage compliance without a language barrier.

What happens if annual accounts are filed late?

Late filing can result in administrative fines and, in the event of bankruptcy, creates a legal presumption of mismanagement that can expose directors to personal liability.

Can annual accounts and corporate income tax be managed together?

Yes. Annual accounts and corporate income tax filings are closely linked, and we coordinate both to keep your financial reporting and tax filings consistent.
