Companies that lose income due to corona measures can make use of corona support schemes. Many schemes are now closed. However, some tax measures, financing, and other credit schemes are still partially available. Help and advice on entrepreneurship, retraining, and debt is also offered by various agencies. For this, contact your own municipality or call the KVK Advice Team on 0800 2117.
Do you want up-to-date information on which measures are in place? Or do you want to find out if you need to repay some of the support money you received? Find all the information on Business.gov.nl, the Dutch government website with centralised information for entrepreneurs. The Netherlands Chamber of Commerce KVK is a partner of this initiative. If you are looking for information about rules for businesses, international business, or permits and visa, you can also visit Business.gov.nl.
Repaying corona support and taxes
Several financial support measures have ended. Businesses that have received support under one or more of these schemes may have to repay part of the money received. The special tax payment extensions that businesses could apply for ended on 31 March 2022. Businesses must pay their taxes as normal from 1 April 2022.
On 8 September 2022, the government announced a relaxation of the repayment scheme for corona tax debts. Healthy companies that need a bit more flexibility to make their repayments can request help from the Tax Authority. For example, the repayment period can be extended from 5 to 7 years. Or companies with a variable income can make repayments quarterly instead of monthly. It will also be possible to request a one-off 3-month break.
Find out which types of support or extensions you need to repay, and what options are in place to help you meet these financial obligations.
