  • Fondsenwervende instelling (fundraising institution)

You can also have your financial statements filed by your accountant or bookkeeper. They often use financial software for this, and file via SBR.

Frequently asked questions

This is permitted in the following cases:

  • The company is part of a group with a parent company based in one of the other EU Member States. In that case, the financial statement is prepared in accordance with the standards of that EU Member State. You need an exemption to avoid having to file in the Netherlands.
  • The company is part of a group with a parent company based outside the EU. Or it has its principal business outside the EU and an establishment in the Netherlands. You are probably a formal foreign company and are therefore obliged to file twice. You prepare financial statements in accordance with the rules of the country of provenance. And you prepare financial statements in accordance with Dutch rules. Both sets of financial statements must be filed in the Netherlands.

I believe that an exception applies to me and that I am allowed to submit on paper. What can I do?

For every company that is required to file, it is intended that you file digitally (SBR). Please also refer to the document questions and answers (pdf, in Dutch) on this subject.

Is it not possible for you to file digitally?

Then email your annual report and financial statement in PDF format. Do not use services such as Zivver, FileCap or WeTransfer. Send this, including your motivation, to: sbr.ontheffing@kvk.nl. We will then process your request.

For financial statements received by email or post, we will use the date of receipt as the filing date.
