Current tax and business news

The old business tax portal has closed: who controls the filing process?

The old business tax portal was closed; returns and notifications are submitted through Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk, software or a tax service provider.

Arrange access before a filing deadline

The portal transition also concerns responsibility: who can view, submit and follow up messages? The appropriate login method and authority depend on the organisation and user. Test access before the return is ready.

Use authorisation rather than shared credentials

Adviser permissions should match the agreed work. Review access when staff, directors or advisers change. A replacement should be able to see outstanding periods and actions without everyone receiving the same permissions.

Treat filing, payment and messages separately

Submission does not mean payment is complete. Assign responsibility for the amount, payment reference and transfer, and retain the submission receipt. Assessments or information requests may have their own deadlines. A handover should record concrete dates and status, not just provide access to a folder.
