You have to deregister your company when you stop freelancing. How to do this? Read on!

You can get into trouble if you stop freelancing but your business does not stop.

First of all, it is useful to read this article. In it, they discuss all the possible consequences when you stop with the company. 

Do you want to be sure that deregistration is done properly? We recommend calling the Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst) for more information. 

Once you have successfully deregistered your company, and therefore your Chamber of Commerce number and VAT ID, you will need to take into account the following points:
