When do I need to register for VAT in the Netherlands?
Last updated: 2026-08-02·Verified: 2026-08-02
📋 Direct Answer
Dutch VAT (BTW nummer) is required if: (1) you store goods in the Netherlands (e.g. Amazon FBA in Tilburg), (2) your EU-wide B2C sales exceed €10,000, or (3) you sell B2B to Dutch businesses. The Netherlands is a popular e-commerce hub. Cost: €200-400. Timeline: 2-4 weeks (relatively fast).
