To register a new company or organisation in the Dutch Business Register (Handelsregister), you pay a one-off fee of €85.15. This fee is tax-deductible for entrepreneurs.
You pay this registration fee when you:
- register a business or organisation in the Business Register for the first time;
- register a restart, takeover, demerger, or merger that causes a new registration in the Business Register, with a new KVK number.
The registration fee is updated every year. The adjustment to the fee depends on inflation.
Do you need an extract from the Business Register?
If you need a KVK Business Register Extract when you register, you can choose between a paper certified or a digitally certified extract. Some banks require an extract from the Business Register, as do most wholesalers. Before ordering an extract, check whether a digital version is accepted.
How do I receive the invoice?
How you receive the invoice depends on how you register:
- Registration at a KVK office
You will receive an email with the invoice at the email address you provide. The sender is factuur@kvk.nl. - Registration through a civil-law notary's office
You receive the invoice via email or post; it depends on the registration details provided by the civil-law notary. - Registration via a form (post)
You receive the invoice in the post.
Good to know
You can receive KVK invoices at an email address that is different from the business email address in the Business Register. We will only use the invoicing email address for invoices. We will not list it in the Business Register. You can always change this email address in the payment portal.
