When will my B.V. get its VAT number?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

You do not apply separately. KVK passes the registration to the Tax Administration, which tells you within 10 working days whether the B.V. is an entrepreneur for VAT. A B.V.'s VAT ID is NL followed by its RSIN number.
