Trying out the platform
During your registration, you have indicated that you don’t have a VAT-ID yet. Without a VAT-ID you can try to work via our platform once, to see whether becoming a FreeFlexer is something for you. Your first invoices might have VAT excluded since you're not registered as an official entrepreneur yet. This means you won’t have to declare this income during the upcoming turnover tax declarations. You will, however, always need to pay taxes over all of your income during the income tax declarations.
​
​Please keep in mind: Did you already have a VAT-ID when you applied for the shift, but had not added this to your profile yet? Don’t worry, this will mean that only the first invoice won’t include VAT. You won’t have to pay taxes over this invoice during the turnover tax declarations.

The Small Enterprises Scheme (KOR)
FreeFlexers who have registered for the Small Enterprises Scheme (KOR) are exempt from VAT obligations. This means that if you have activated the KOR through the Tax Authorities and our platform, you do not invoice VAT to your clients and do not report turnover tax anymore. Read everything about the KOR here.

The VAT reverse charge scheme
It may be that your client is carrying out a task for another company and wants to use you for it. The client then acts as the main contractor for the other party, and you as a FreeFlexer are a subcontractor. In this case, VAT is not invoiced on your invoice but on that of your client. The VAT is thus reversed. Read more about the VAT reverse charge scheme from the Tax Authorities.
