Whether you're expanding abroad from the Netherlands or landing there as a global company, Light keeps every entity on one ledger.
Dutch GAAP
Report under Dutch GAAP (RJ) and group standards side by side with multibook.
BTW
Standard 21% and reduced 9% rates applied via tax codes as transactions post, including the verleggingsregeling (reverse charge).
ICP declarations
Intra-Community performance declarations stay in sync with the ledger automatically, matching your BTW return every period.
Dutch banking
Connect Dutch bank accounts via host-to-host integration or bank feeds — transactions reconcile automatically, vendors get paid via SEPA and iDEAL-era rails.
BTW, from invoice to Belastingdienst
Light handles Dutch VAT in the ledger — rates applied at posting, returns built continuously, cross-border trade covered.
The BTW-aangifte is built continuously from posted transactions, every box traceable to underlying entries — review, approve, and file to the Belastingdienst without spreadsheets in between.
The Dutch reverse charge — subcontracting, immovable property, and cross-border purchases — is handled automatically: both sides of the entry posted and reflected in the right boxes, with ICP declarations kept in sync.
Peppol e-invoices are received and issued natively, matching how Dutch government and increasingly B2B trade works.
Compliant with how the Netherlands audits
Dutch statutory requirements are built into the ledger, not bolted on.
Audit file exports
XML audit files (XAF) generated straight from the ledger for auditors and the Belastingdienst.
Peppol e-invoicing
Native e-invoicing over the network the Dutch public sector requires.
Host-to-host banking
Direct connections with major Dutch banks for statement collection and payment files at treasury-grade control.
One platform, every country you operate in
the Netherlands is one of the many countries Light supports out of the box — same ledger, same close process, local requirements handled per entity.
