ABOUT THIS TOOL

How the KOR calculator works

What it estimates

Whether you are eligible for the KOR and whether opting in saves you money, based on your expected revenue and business purchases.

How to read the result

It weighs the VAT you would no longer charge against the VAT on purchases you could no longer reclaim, and shows which option comes out better.

Who it's for

Freelancers and small businesses with yearly revenue under €20,000, especially those selling to consumers.

Good to know

If your clients are businesses, they can usually reclaim VAT anyway, so the KOR often helps less. Leaving the scheme has rules on re-entry.

KOR questions

You can no longer reclaim VAT on business purchases such as equipment and software.

How do I sign up?

Register with the Belastingdienst before the period you want it to start. Once you are in the scheme, your invoices no longer include VAT.
