What is the difference between a CoC and a VAT-ID?

A CoC-number is a number you request at the Chamber of Commerce and the VAT-ID is a number you request with the Tax Authorities.

CoC-number:
Are you expecting to become a frequent FreeFlexer? This could entail that you will need to register with the Chamber of Commerce. When doing so, you will receive a CoC-number. This registration comes with a € 80,10 registration cost. After you have registered, you will also receive a VAT-number and VAT-ID. Read what it means to be an entrepreneur if you are a student.

VAT-ID:
It’s also possible to receive a VAT-ID when you’re not obligated to register with the Chamber of Commerce. Through the use of the OSO forms, you can register for a VAT-ID free of any costs. Once the Tax Authorities have approved your forms you will receive a VAT-ID by letter. Whether you will need a CoC registration depends on the frequency of your work. The exact definition can only be given by the Tax Authorities. You can find more on this on the following website:
