Accountant for hospitality

An accountant who understands hospitality

Fluctuating VAT rates on food and drink, a till system that must reconcile and often a lot of staff: hospitality is a trade of its own. SMG Administratie guides hospitality entrepreneurs and takes care of your complete hospitality administration.

Hospitality has one of the most complex administrations there is. You work with two VAT rates at once: 9% on food and non-alcoholic drinks, 21% on alcoholic drinks, often on one and the same receipt. Many hospitality businesses also work with the cash-basis scheme for VAT: under certain conditions you can ask the Belastingdienst for permission to declare VAT based on what actually comes in through the till and the bank, instead of on the invoice date. As an accountant for hospitality, we assess whether this makes sense for your business and make sure your till system is correctly linked to your administration.

Do you work with delivery platforms such as Thuisbezorgd or Uber Eats? Then the commission the platform withholds is a business expense, while the full order value counts as revenue. That requires careful processing. A fluctuating workforce with on-call staff is also part of the trade. We take care of the complete payroll administration for this, and are happy to think along with the financial substantiation when applying for or renewing your hospitality or terrace licence.

We work for hospitality entrepreneurs in Zaandam, Amsterdam, Purmerend and across the Netherlands.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from hospitality entrepreneurs

Which VAT rate applies to food and drink?
Food and non-alcoholic drinks fall under the low rate of 9%. Alcoholic drinks fall under the general rate of 21%. So a single receipt can contain two rates. Your till system needs to split this correctly.
What is the cash-basis scheme and should I apply it?
The cash-basis scheme is an arrangement under which you declare VAT based on what you have actually received through the till and the bank, instead of on the invoice date. This is not mandatory, but can, under certain conditions, be applied for with the Belastingdienst. We assess together with you whether this is worthwhile for your business and make sure your till revenue ends up correctly in the return.
How do I process the commissions from delivery platforms such as Thuisbezorgd?
The commission the platform withholds is a business expense for you, while the full order value counts as revenue. We link these settlements to your administration correctly.
