You can apply for it by registering<\/a> with the Chamber of Commerce. You can also request a VAT number from your accountant. Since January 1, 2020, sole proprietorships have a new VAT identification number from the Tax Authorities<\/a> . This new number is no longer linked to the citizen service number<\/a> (BSN). The numbers have been changed due to privacy protection and identity theft.<\/p>\nThe Tax Authorities will also give you a different VAT number if you are registered as an entrepreneur for turnover tax (VAT).[\/vc_column_text]

\n- Citizen service number<\/strong>
\nEveryone who is registered<\/a> with the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP) receives a citizen service number or BSN. In the past, this was the social security number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nJust like for VAT, this is a unique number, but the difference is that a citizen service number (BSN) is linked to a natural person.<\/p>\n
\n- RSIN or tax number<\/strong>
\nThe abbreviation RSIN stands for Legal Entities and Partnerships Information Number. As the name implies, it is a number for legal entities and partnerships. Examples of this are private limited companies, associations, foundations, general partnerships and partnerships. The identification number is personal and neutral and it is recorded in a database of the National Tax Authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn the past this was the tax number. This old name is sometimes still used. The reason that the tax number has been entered has to do with the fact that it makes automated processing of payroll tax data possible for the National Tax Authorities. This prevents errors and saves a lot of time.<\/p>\n
