Reverse charge and import VAT

For services from a supplier abroad, the VAT isn't charged on the bill: CoreBooks books it as owed and reclaimed, and puts it on the right lines. VAT paid at customs goes on its own line as import VAT.

VAT on deposits

VAT is due when an advance payment is invoiced or received. Deposit invoices carry their VAT, and applying the deposit to the final invoice takes it off again, so the VAT is charged once on the whole amount.

File, lock and keep track

Mark a return as filed and CoreBooks keeps its figures. If anything in the period changes later, the return shows what changed. On Business, filing can also lock the period so nothing changes.

Every plan. Locking the books when you file is on Business.

Does CoreBooks file the return with the Belastingdienst?

No. It prepares the return; you file it in the Belastingdienst's online portal, with every amount ready to copy. Mark it as filed in CoreBooks afterwards.

Any rate. For Suriname, one click adds the full set: 10%, 5%, 25%, 0%, exempt, exports, private use, reverse charge, import VAT and 10% not reclaimable.

Can I use it outside Suriname?
