Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
You came to create an invoice that can be sent, saved, and matched to Dutch VAT records. The finished file should identify both parties, show the supplied goods or services, apply the right VAT treatment, and give the customer a clear amount due. A downloadable PDF works well for client delivery, while a spreadsheet copy helps with internal checks before sending.
For Netherlands invoices, the main job is accuracy before presentation. A clean layout does not fix a missing supplier VAT identification number, an unclear supply date, or a VAT amount shown in the wrong currency. Treat the file as a business record first and a client-facing document second. The buyer should understand the charge without asking for a separate timesheet or price explanation.
A Dutch VAT invoice must show the supplier name and address, customer name and address, and the supplier's VAT identification number. It also needs an invoice number, invoice date, and the date when the goods or services were supplied. Line items should describe the quantity and type of goods or the nature and type of services, not just a vague project name.
For VAT lines, show the unit price excluding VAT, any reductions not already included in the price, the VAT tariff, the cost excluding VAT, and the VAT amount in euros. The Netherlands uses 0%, 9%, and 21% VAT tariffs. The 21% high or general tariff applies when no exemption, reverse charge, 0% tariff, or 9% tariff applies.
A Netherlands invoice can become wrong at the download stage if the file omits context that was visible during editing. Keep the VAT tariff beside each taxable line or grouped VAT subtotal, and make sure the VAT amount remains in euros. If the invoice covers an advance payment, include the payment date when it differs from the invoice date.
Reverse-charge and intra-EU cases need extra care. For exports of goods to other EU countries, certain related services such as transport, and reverse-charge cases, the customer's VAT identification number must also appear on the invoice. When reverse charge applies, the supplier does not add VAT and should state "VAT reverse-charged." Suppliers to Dutch central government contracts covered by the mandate must use structured e-invoicing from January 1, 2017.
A one-off download is enough for a single invoice when the time, rates, VAT treatment, and customer details are already confirmed. It is also practical for a small project with one service line and no recurring billing. Save the sent file with its invoice number, source notes, and any approval trail so the record still makes sense later.
A managed workflow becomes better when billable and non-billable work decide the invoice total. Everhour can keep project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, member-rate exceptions, and admin reports for billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost. That structure reduces rework when tracked work needs to become a client invoice.

The invoice should show the VAT tariff applied, the cost excluding VAT, and the VAT amount in euros for each VAT tariff or exemption. It should also include the unit price excluding VAT and any reductions not already included in the price. Those fields let the customer and accountant see how the final payable amount was built.
No. The Netherlands has 0%, 9%, and 21% VAT tariffs. The 21% high or general tariff applies when no exemption, reverse charge, 0% tariff, or 9% tariff applies. Choose the VAT treatment from the actual supply, customer, and transaction type before sending the invoice.
The customer's VAT identification number is required for exports of goods to other EU countries, certain related services such as transport, and reverse-charge cases. For ordinary domestic cases, the supplier VAT identification number remains a required field, while the customer identity still needs the customer name and address.
When the reverse-charge mechanism applies, the supplier should not include VAT on the invoice and should state "VAT reverse-charged." The customer VAT identification number also belongs on the invoice in reverse-charge cases. Adding VAT by habit creates an incorrect invoice for that treatment.
Use the contract's agreed payment term when it is valid for the transaction. Under the EU late-payment framework, public authorities have a 30-day payment period, and business-to-business payment periods are generally limited to 60 days unless expressly agreed and not grossly unfair. Put the due date plainly on the invoice.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks as non-billable, use custom task rates, and set member-rate exceptions. Admin reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so only chargeable work feeds the invoice review.
Track billable work before invoice day, separate non-billable tasks, and review amounts by project or member. Everhour gives teams cleaner invoice inputs and fewer billing corrections.
