Accountant for driving schools

An accountant who understands driving schools

Lesson fees, vehicle costs and the VAT treatment of both make the administration of a driving school a bit different from other businesses. We know these specific points of attention and take care of your complete driving-school administration.

A driving school has its own tax profile. Think of the VAT treatment of driving lessons, high vehicle and fuel costs, and working with lesson packages that are paid in advance. As an accountant for driving schools, we know these situations precisely.

Whether you are a self-employed driving instructor or a driving school with several instructors and cars, you can come to us for the complete administration, from the VAT return and vehicle costs to the annual accounts. That way you keep more time for your students.

We support driving schools in Zaandam, Amsterdam, Purmerend and across the Netherlands, at our office or fully online.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from driving-school owners

Do I need to charge VAT on my driving lessons?

Yes, driving lessons are subject to VAT at the general rate of 21%. A common misconception is that lesson fees are exempt, as with education. For driving schools, however, this is not the case.

How do I process prepaid lesson packages in my bookkeeping?

Prepayments are only booked as revenue once the lesson has actually been given. Until then, they are recorded as deferred income on the balance sheet. We process this correctly per period.

Can I depreciate my lesson car fully as a business expense?

With (almost) exclusively business use, that is often possible in full. If you also drive it privately, a private-use add-on applies. We look at what is most advantageous in your situation.
