Abolition of routine withholding tax number issue to newly incorporated private companies

The Tax and Customs Administration used routinely to issue a withholding tax number to any newly established private limited-liability company with a date of incorporation beyond the first of April 2018. This has changed with effect from the start of the current year, in that it is now up to the incorporator him or herself to file a withholding tax number application. This can be done by downloading the form entitled “Melding Loonheffingen Aanmelding Werkgever” (dutch form) from the tax office’s web site.
