Yes, in the Netherlands, including a VAT number on invoices is typically required, especially for businesses like freelancers (ZZP) and sole proprietors (eenmanszaak). Here’s when and why you need to include it:

• For B2B Invoices: When invoicing other businesses within the EU, you must include both your VAT number and the VAT number of the recipient (if applicable). This is essential for cross-border transactions, especially if you’re applying the reverse charge mechanism.
• For B2C Invoices: If you’re invoicing customers within the Netherlands, it’s also recommended to include your VAT number for transparency, although it’s less critical if the client is a consumer.
• Using the 0% VAT Rate: When you apply the 0% VAT rate (exempt or reverse charge) for EU business clients, adding the VAT number is mandatory to comply with EU regulations.
