VAT return with a Basic subscription
To file your VAT return, we need your complete business administration.
Your income (also known as your sales)
Most entrepreneurs send invoices via The Bookie Webapp. This means your income is automatically recorded under your Sales.
Have you created sales invoices or received income through another program? Or did you receive an invoice from your client? Then you also need to upload these under external invoices.

Your business expenses (also known as your costs)
With a Basic subscription, you add all receipts and PDFs of expenses yourself.
How do I add an expense to my administration?
Forgot a receipt or invoice for an expense? We will include it in the next quarter’s VAT return. If the quarter has already been closed, it will automatically be placed in the new quarter, even if the date on the receipt or invoice is from a previous quarter.
Click the “Updated” button
With a Basic subscription, you must always click the yellow button on your Dashboard. You can do this from the 1st until no later than the 8th of the month. This lets us know your administration is complete. No click means no VAT return.
After this, you can no longer add or remove anything from your administration. We do this to prevent misunderstandings.
Review and filing by your Bookie
After you click the button, you enter the queue. When it’s your turn, we review and correct your administration and file your VAT return. If needed, we’ll also give you tips on how to avoid mistakes and optimize your tax benefits.
You will receive a link to your VAT return by email and in a message in The Bookie Webapp.
This shows the amount you need to pay, the payment reference, and the payment deadline. You can also find the VAT return under Overview → Returns, where you can pay directly via iDEAL.
Missing the deadline
If you have not clicked “Updated” by the 20th of the first month of the new quarter, you are responsible for filing your own VAT return. Please send us a PDF copy so we can add it to your file.
