Filing your financial statements yourself for intermediaries

You can use Zelf Deponeren Jaarrekening if you are an intermediary and file one or more financial statements each year. You file the financial statements using eHerkenning and an authorisation from your client. 

If you file financial statements for several micro and small private limited companies, it is also possible to link these to a single eHerkenning token (EID token). Your clients authorise you in writing or using their own eHerkenning token. If you submit comparatively large numbers of financial statements each year, filing will be easier and more efficient for you if you use financial software (SBR).
