Non-PRO Dutch to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs
Hi,

These two numbers need to be filled in in a tax form in order to register a new business in the Netherlands.
I can find plenty of definitions for them, but no translations...
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

interestingly, the page I referred to above: (http://www.answersforbusiness.nl/regulation/vat-number ) now links to: https://business.gov.nl/regulation/vat-number/ … and there is no longer any mention of the word ‘omzetbelastingnummer’

see also:

"General
This brochure is intended for non-resident entrepreneurs who are not
based in the Netherlands. If you buy or sell goods or perform services
in the Netherlands, you will have to deal with the Dutch rules on VAT.
This brochure explains these rules.If you have a permanent
establishment in the Netherlands, the same rules apply to you as to
resident entrepreneurs. Then this brochure is not intended for you.

In the Netherlands and in other countries of the European Union (EU)
turnover tax is levied according to the VAT system. As in common
parlance the term VAT is used in this brochure instead of turnover tax.

omzetbelastingnummer/OB-nummer = turnover tax # ‘The Tax and Customs Administration states your VAT number on the letters and forms it sends to you. On some of its forms, the Tax and Customs Administration only uses the Turnover Tax number (omzetbelastingnummer). This number is basically the same as the VAT number, but without the country code NL.’ (http://www.answersforbusiness.nl/regulation/vat-number )

Looking them up without the word 'nummer' I think the definitions will be much easier to find if you look up the terms without the word 'nummer'.
writeaway Oct 19, 2008:
Hi-since these are 2 separate terms, for the sake of the glossary you really should post the 2nd one in a separate question.

Payroll Tax Number

loonheffingennummer Translates To : Payroll Tax Number
In line with the Dutch Tax Department's used terminology and specifically
to differentiate between individual entities (= private persons ) who pay
tax and the corporate tax entities required to withhold certain taxes , the
term I use is Payroll Tax Number .
This describes exactly what is being meant here , the number by which ,
the corporate entity ( Agency / Organization etc. ) lawfully required to
withhold certain taxes from the private persons (= who may or may not be
employees ) it pays salary / wages to , is known by the Dutch Tax
Department .

The Dutch Social Insurance Bank also refers to this Payroll Tax Number
on their form : A1/(E)101 certificate concerning applicable social insurance
legislation (pdf, 406 kB) .
