KEY INSIGHT ON STARTING A BUSINESS PART-TIME

Starting a business alongside your job, also known as part-time entrepreneurship, is an increasingly popular way to build something of your own while maintaining financial security. Over half of aspiring entrepreneurs choose this route, with many aiming to go full-time later.

What should you prepare?
-A clear business plan
-Market research
-Business registration
-A professional online presence
-Alignment with your employer

Open communication with your employer is essential, especially to avoid conflicts or issues with non-compete agreements.

Pros:
-Financial stability
-Lower risk
-Time to grow at your own pace

Cons:
-Limited time and potential workload pressure
-Dependence on employer approval
-Need for strong structure and focus

A well-organized approach is key to balancing both roles successfully.

ARE BUSINESS BANK ACCOUNT COSTS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?

A business bank account is essential to keep personal and business finances separate. But how are these costs treated for tax purposes? Below is a clear overview of the key points.

100% deductible for income or corporate tax
The costs of a business bank account are fully deductible when filing income tax or corporate income tax. The tax authorities consider these costs a legitimate business expense.

No VAT on bank charges
Bank charges are exempt from VAT. This means you do not pay VAT on these costs, nor can they be claimed as input VAT in your VAT return.

Don’t overlook monthly bank fees
Because bank fees are often deducted automatically, they are easily forgotten. Make sure to include them as deductible expenses when preparing your tax return.

Where do you report bank costs?
Bank costs should be included under “profit from business activities” in your annual income tax return or corporate tax return (for limited companies). This reduces your taxable profit.

Additional banking services are also deductible
Costs for related services such as credit cards, payment terminals, or transaction fees from online payment systems are also deductible. Please note that some services, such as the rental of a payment terminal, are subject to VAT. Always review invoices carefully and report any VAT paid correctly.

A business bank account not only provides financial clarity but also offers tax advantages.

HOW TO PUT YOUR BUSINESS ON HOLD?

If your business will be inactive for an extended period, you must manage your Business Register registration carefully. Pausing registration is not possible, as the register is for active companies.

Inactive less than 6 months
-Keep your business registered.
-Inform contacts that activities are temporarily paused.
-Continue filing VAT returns, even if zero, and maintain proper records.

Inactive more than 6 months
-Deregister your business.
-If you resume later, register a new business with a new KVK and VAT number.

No turnover but still active
-If you are actively preparing your business, remain registered.
-After a year of zero VAT returns, the Tax Administration may withdraw your VAT number. You must prove ongoing activity to prevent deregistration.

Managing your registration correctly ensures compliance and avoids unnecessary complications.
