The Bookie's recurring drinks are renowned and helpful. Every quarter, there is an open house afternoon at the Jaarbeursplein. This is how we join forces as entrepreneurs. Attend one or more workshops, catch up on your overdue bookkeeping, and ask your final questions regarding your turnover or income tax. And afterwards: cheers!

I am Nuno and I am a producer, DJ, curator, and label owner. I am currently working on finishing an album under my Dwaalgast alias. What I really like about The Bookie is the transparency and the overview. And how simple it has been made to enter things.

What was once a childhood dream has been a reality for quite some time now. I can actually call myself a professional skateboarder. My Bookies handle my administration well, think like an entrepreneur, and I can always get in touch quickly if anything comes up. They are just nice and practical and don't make things difficult.

We all know the feeling: you’re working on your administration, everything seems to be going smoothly… and then suddenly—oops—a invoice with the wrong amount, the wrong VAT rate, or sent twice. Panic? Not at all, there’s a super handy solution: the credit invoice.

The year is coming to an end: time to take a close look at your business and your tax position. Those who’ve been good get treats (less tax and interest), while those who haven’t get the stick (more tax and interest), so to speak. A TL;DR with a checklist—and an invitation to brainstorm live during the Bookie Drinks.

Are you planning to convert your sole proprietorship into a BV (private limited company)? Then you’ll need to submit a declaration of intent to the Dutch Tax Authority. A what now?! No worries — we’re happy to explain it in a simple and clear way.

Let’s face it: when you’re an expat entrepreneur in the Netherlands, taxes are like that mysterious guest at the party who shows up uninvited and insists on knowing everything about your personal life. You know you should pay attention to them, but sometimes, they’re just a little bit overwhelming. Expats love The Bookie .... and we love them!

Picture this: You’ve just moved to the Netherlands, you're juggling a new language, new culture, and the constant question of whether your bike is going to be stolen today. And on top of that, you’ve got taxes, VAT, and Dutch financial rules that might as well be written in hieroglyphics. Since we've started in 2015 we have helped hundreds of expats and non-Dutch entrepreneurs with their accounting. In order to give you an idea what we do, we will start sharing their experiences.

We are recognized by the Tax Authorities for Horizontal Supervision (Horizontaal Toezicht in Dutch). That’s cause for celebration. Celebration? Yes, for us and for our entrepreneurs. It means that, due to the high quality of our tax returns, we’ve been given more responsibility. Or actually, more decision-making power. Want to know what the advantages are for you? Read more.

The income tax return: a return that you have probably been filing for years, but perhaps still don't understand. We will discuss the most important themes in the near future. We start with the beginning of life: your child. Do you have one or more children? Then this will have consequences for your taxes.
