What do my Bookies do for me?
VAT returns
As a client of The Bookie, you don't have to submit your quarterly returns (also known as turnover or VAT returns), but your Bookies do that for you.* All you have to do is send your invoices on time and book your expenses complete with receipt or invoice. Or take a Plus subscription and have us do it for you *wink
One week before the end of the quarter, you will receive the first quarterly reminder. Update your records before the 8th of the first month of the new quarter, so that we have enough time to check your records and file your tax return. The deadlines are: April 8, July 8, October 8 and January 8. Read here how the process works.
Reminders: click on 'Administration Updated' before the 8th
Once all income and expenses are complete in your records, click on the "Updated" button that appears on your dashboard. We’ll now check and correct your administration and submit your tax return. You’ll receive a reminder from us that your tax return can be found in The Bookie Webapp. It will state the account number of the tax authorities and what you have to pay (or get back), as well as your payment reference. This payment must be received by the Belastingdienst before the 1st of May/August/November/February. Can't you make it before the 8th? Then submit your own tax return and send us the pdf.
Based on your records and any corrections we make, we may give you tips on how to avoid mistakes and gain an advantage. This way you will get to know your administration better and prevent mistakes in the future.
*Do you have to file a VAT return once a year instead of every quarter? Then discuss this with us.
Annual figures and income tax return
When the year is done, your annual figures must be prepared and your income tax return filed. To do this we’ll need more information from you than just your business records, such as the bank statements from your business account, annual statements in case of salaried income, etc.
For this purpose, you can submit the required information via "Start income tax return" starting in February. The checklist provides a complete picture of your situation that is important for your income tax return. View the overview here.
After you’ve completed the checklist and sent it in (with all relevant documents attached), you’ll be added to the waiting list. We’ll process your Income Tax Return on a first come, first served basis. If, after reviewing your checklist, your team has any questions, they’ll contact you. If not, then they will proceed to process all the information you’ve sent in. We’ll then send your the draft report and ask you to review it and give us written permission to file it for you. After receiving this permission, we’ll submit your tax return for you.
