Construction accounting: this is what you need to know
Many self-employed construction workers stumble over VAT issues. Because when do you use the low 9% rate and when, on the contrary, should it be 21%? What applies to VAT on materials and labour hours? And can you reclaim VAT for tools and building materials you purchase? These are questions of great importance. Because a mistake in your VAT return can cost you a lot of money.
We have conveniently listed all the VAT rules for the construction industry for you. So you want to know exactly how the VAT system works in the construction sector? Then dive into our extensive article About VAT in construction or ask us for help!

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are frequently asked questions relevant for self-employed workers in the construction industry
Should I charge VAT on all my jobs?
The VAT rate depends on your activities. Usually 21% applies, though a reduced rate of 9% may apply under certain conditions for specific activities. In the case of subcontracting in the construction industry, the reverse-charge mechanism may apply. Merely having a business client is not sufficient for this. We can help you determine what applies to your job.
Do I need a bookkeeper?
Many builders try to do the administration themselves at first, but soon run into questions about deductions, VAT or timekeeping. With an accountant, you avoid mistakes, save time and often get more out of your figures. We make sure everything is correct, but you remain in control.
Which expenses can I deduct?
More than you think. Think about tools, work clothes, transport, business telephone costs, further training and much more. What is and what is not deductible varies per situation, and we would be happy to help you get the most out of your business.
How often do we have contact when I become a customer?
You decide. Some clients talk to us every month, others mainly around their VAT returns. You always have a fixed contact person and can easily reach us by e-mail, phone or WhatsApp. We are there when you need us, not only for questions, but also to think along with you.
