Result |
Earnings Stripping (Renteaftrekbeperking) [T1]

Section 2 — Required Inputs and Refusal Catalogue
Required Inputs
Minimum viable: Annual accounts (jaarrekening) including profit & loss and balance sheet. Confirmation of entity type (BV/NV) and financial year.
Recommended: Trial balance, prior-year VPB assessment (aanslag), loss carry-forward schedule, details of intercompany transactions, shareholding structure.
Ideal: Complete administration including fixed asset register, loan documentation, WBSO declarations, fiscal unity decree, prior-year fiscal adjustments, transfer pricing documentation.
Refusal Catalogue
R-VPB-1 — No annual accounts available. "Cannot compute VPB without financial statements. Provide at minimum a trial balance and P&L statement."
R-VPB-2 — Entity structure unclear. "Cannot determine standalone vs. fiscal unity treatment without confirmed shareholding structure. Escalate."
R-VPB-3 — Intercompany transactions without documentation. "Transfer pricing risk. Cannot determine arm's length pricing without documentation. Flag for belastingadviseur."
R-VPB-4 — Innovation box claimed without WBSO. "Cannot apply 9% rate without confirmed WBSO declaration or patent. Apply standard rates."
R-VPB-5 — Cross-border element present. "International tax treaty analysis required. Stop and escalate to international tax specialist."
Section 3 — Computation Workflow
Step-by-Step VPB Computation
1. Start with commercial net result (per annual accounts)
2. Identify and add back non-deductible expenses:
- Entertainment/representation: 73.5% non-deductible (or choose EUR 5,100 fixed amount)
- Fines and penalties: 100% non-deductible
- Bribes: 100% non-deductible
- Excessive interest (earnings stripping): non-deductible portion
3. Apply fiscal depreciation differences:
- Buildings: max depreciation to 100% WOZ value (own use) or 50% WOZ (investment)
- Goodwill: max 10% per year fiscally
4. Apply participation exemption (if qualifying):
- Remove dividends and gains from ≥5% participations
5. Apply innovation box (if WBSO/patent confirmed):
- Separate qualifying profits; apply 9% rate
6. Determine taxable amount before loss relief
7. Apply loss carry-forward:
- Max EUR 1,000,000 + 50% of excess
8. Compute VPB:
- First EUR 200,000 × 19%
- Remainder × 25.8%
9. Deduct provisional payments already made
10. = VPB payable / refundable
