How we tackle your backlog
Catching up needs a fixed order. These are the steps we go through with every new client who has a backlog.
First, the overview
We list which returns are outstanding, which assessments and penalties there are and which deadlines are running. That way you quickly know where you really stand and what needs doing first.
Extensions where possible
For income tax we can often request an extension, as long as it's done in time. For the VAT return that is generally not possible, so we deal with VAT first. We tell you honestly what can still be done and what can't.
Limiting penalties and estimates
The sooner your missing returns are filed, the smaller the chance of new penalties. If there's an assessment based on an estimate, you can often have it corrected by filing a proper return or lodging an objection. For a penalty we check whether there are grounds to object.
Then staying on top of it
Once your backlog is cleared, we keep your books up to date from then on. Your bank is linked and you send your receipts through the app, so it doesn't pile up again.
Our approach
Why business owners with a backlog choose TaxMate
No judgement, just a plan
A backlog can happen to anyone. Your dedicated bookkeeper doesn't look at what went wrong but at what needs to happen now, and keeps you informed at every step.
Bank linked, documents in the app
In the MyTaxMate app you link your bank and upload whatever documents you still have. Even with just bank statements and the invoices you can find, the books can often be rebuilt properly.
An answer within 24 hours
If a new letter from the Tax Administration arrives, send us a photo and within 24 hours you'll know what it means. It costs nothing on top of your fixed monthly price.

Translated from DutchFrequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about a bookkeeping backlog
We can also take care of returns for earlier years. How far back we go depends on what's outstanding and which documents still exist. In the introductory call we look together at what's there and what comes first.
Usually not an insurmountable one. With your bank statements as the basis, a lot can be rebuilt, and missing invoices can often be requested again from suppliers or clients. Where something is genuinely missing, we discuss with you how to deal with it.
For income tax we can often request an extension, as long as it's done in time. For the VAT return there is generally no extension. That's why we start with VAT and set up a realistic plan for the rest.
An estimated assessment often comes out higher than your actual figures. By filing a proper return after all or lodging an objection, you can often have it corrected. How, and within which deadline, depends on your situation, so send us the letter as soon as you can.
Clearing a backlog is extra work and we charge for it separately. You hear what it costs up front in the introductory call, so there are no surprises. After that you pay a fixed monthly price for keeping your books up to date, covering your VAT return, income tax, annual accounts and advice, cancellable monthly. The packages are on the pricing page.
