Set up electronic VAT and ICP declarations in the Dutch version

To create electronic VAT and ICP declarations and communicate with tax authorities, set up general information about electronic tax declarations. Your company must be registered with the tax authorities before you can send electronic declarations.

When electronic declarations are set up, you can begin to declare VAT and ICP to the tax authorities. Learn more in Submitting Electronic VAT and ICP Declarations.

Set up electronic declarations

Upload the certificates needed to communicate with Digipoort. Use the Certificates page to upload a client certificate and a service certificate. Then set up electronic declarations.

  1. [!INCLUDE [open-search](../../includes/open-search.md)], enter Elec. Tax Declaration Setup, and then choose the related link.
  2. On the Elec. Tax Declaration Setup page, fill in the fields as necessary. [!INCLUDE[tooltip-inline-tip](../../includes/tooltip-inline-tip_md.md)]
  3. Set VAT Contact Type and ICP Contact Type to Tax Payer or Agent, as appropriate for each declaration type. Fill in the taxpayer contact details or the agent contact details. For an agent, Agent Contact ID is the BECON number.

  4. If you want to send electronic ICP declarations for a subsidiary company of a fiscal entity, select the Part of Fiscal Entity checkbox.

    Hinweis

    If a company has several companies registered as subsidiaries of a holding company, they can submit the VAT declaration individually or combined for one fiscal entity. To set up electronic declarations for subsidiaries of a holding company, you must select the Part of Fiscal Entity field on the Elec. Tax Declaration Setup page. You can then create an electronic declaration for only one company.

    To combine tax information for subsidiaries, prepare a VAT statement for each company and calculate the combined amounts separately. The electronic declaration doesn't consolidate multiple companies. Enter the combined amounts through the tax authority's portal.

    You can't combine tax information for ICP declarations. ICP declarations must always be submitted individually.

    For each subsidiary company, an electronic ICP declaration can be created and submitted to the tax authorities. These electronic ICP declarations must contain the VAT registration number of the subsidiary company and the value of the Fiscal Entity No. field on the Company Information page of the holding company.

  5. On the Digipoort FastTab, fill in the fields as follows:

    • In the Digipoort Delivery URL field, specify the URL for the Digipoort Aanlever (delivery) service. Use the URL from the Digipoort endpoint URLs section.
    • In the Digipoort Status URL field, specify the URL for the Digipoort Statusinformatie (status) service. Use the URL from the Digipoort endpoint URLs section.
    • Select Use Certificate Setup to use the certificates selected in the following fields when sending declarations and receiving responses. This setting is required for VAT returns submitted with version DigitalTaxDecl.
    • In the Client Certificate Code field, specify the client certificate. This certificate must be a PKIoverheid client certificate.
    • In the Service Certificate Code field, specify the WUS service signing certificate. Download the certificate from the Digipoort service signing certificate section, then upload it on the Certificates page.

  6. On the Endpoints FastTab, review the XBRL schema version and taxonomy endpoints. These fields control the declaration format, not the Digipoort delivery and status services. Leave a field blank to use the default value supplied by your installed application version. Only enter an override when you need a different supported taxonomy.

Digipoort endpoint URLs

Use the following Digipoort production endpoint URLs.

Service URL
Aanlever (delivery) https://wus.digipoort.logius.nl/wus/2.0/aanleverservice/1.2
Statusinformatie (status) https://wus.digipoort.logius.nl/wus/2.0/statusinformatieservice/1.2

Confirm the current production endpoints and migration requirements with Logius Digipoort guidance.

Digipoort service signing certificate

Digipoort signs every response message with a service signing certificate. You must upload this certificate as the Service Certificate in [!INCLUDE[prod_short](../../includes/prod_short.md)] so that the response signature can be verified.

Download the certificate from wus.productie.digipoort.logius.nl.cert.

Always verify that you use the most recent certificate. Logius publishes the current version on the Aansluit Suite Digipoort site.

Migrating to the new Digipoort

Logius is migrating Digipoort to a new production environment with a new endpoint URL and a new service signing certificate. If your company already submits VAT or ICP declarations through Digipoort, you must migrate your connection.

Logius states that the Belastingdienst stops accepting messages through the old Digipoort on December 1, 2026. Complete the migration before that date. Learn more in the Logius Digipoort guidance.

To migrate your connection, follow these steps:

  1. Replace the values in the Digipoort Delivery URL and Digipoort Status URL fields with the new URLs from the Digipoort endpoint URLs section.
  2. Upload the new service signing certificate from the Digipoort service signing certificate section and select it in the Service Certificate Code field.

When you connect to the new Digipoort, the connection to the legacy Digipoort must be terminated. For the full list of changes, go to the official Digipoort migration instruction for the WUS interface.

Hinweis

[!INCLUDE[prod_short](../../includes/prod_short.md)] online customers don't need to install PKIoverheid root or intermediate certificates. The service manages the trust relationship with Digipoort. Update both endpoint URL fields and upload and select the new service signing certificate. Keep your client certificate valid.
