Why did I not receive VAT on my first three services?

Did you work while you did not yet have a VAT ID? If so, this is often the case. Read on for more information.

Starting without VAT ID
As you may know, you can work the first three services without a VAT ID. Applying for and receiving a VAT ID sometimes takes some time. For further explanation on how to work the first three services without VAT ID, please read the article below.

Earnings as an individual with your BSN
So if you have not yet received a VAT ID, you can get your first three services paid on your BSN. You will not receive VAT on the payment of these services. You do not have to declare these earnings as turnover in your VAT return at the end of each quarter. However, you do have to declare these earnings on your income tax return at the end of the year. The income then falls under the category "income from other work".
