Invoicing and Payment
My company is not based in the Netherlands… Why do I need to pay VAT?
When a Dutch company rents out or sells and supplies goods within the Netherlands to a customer located outside the Netherlands, the place of supply for VAT purposes is within the Netherlands. This means that Dutch VAT applies to this transaction. Therefore, the supplier (BeursBuddy) must charge Dutch VAT to the foreign customer.
This situation differs from export transactions where goods are transported to a country outside the Netherlands; in such cases, the 0% VAT rate may be applied. However, since the goods remain within the Netherlands, there is no export, and thus the 0% VAT rate does not apply.
It is important to note that the foreign customer may be eligible to reclaim the Dutch VAT paid (21%), depending on the regulations in your own country and any applicable tax treaties.
What Payment Options Does BeursBuddy Offer?
Betalen op BeursBuddy is heel eenvoudig.
Momenteel ondersteunen wij de volgende betaal opties:
- iDeal (Netherlands)
- Credit Card: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover & Diners Club
- Bancontact (Belgium)

- On account (please contact us for this option)
How Can I Add a PO Reference to My Order?
Go to “My Exhibitions” in your account and click on the trade show for which you have placed an order.
Click on the icon to add your PO number to the order.
Enter your desired PO reference and click “save” to store it.
You can view your order via the icon and download the invoice which now includes your PO reference.
