Accountant for transport companies

An accountant who understands transport companies

Trips, mileage, fuel costs and international VAT rules: the administration of a transport company calls for specific expertise. At SMG Administratie we know the sector and handle your complete administration and tax advice.

The transport sector has its own financial dynamics. Think of high fuel costs, vehicle depreciation, motor vehicle tax and, for international transport, cross-border VAT as well. As accountants for transport companies, we know these rules inside out.

Whether you're a self-employed driver or run a transport BV with multiple trucks, we take care of your complete administration. From daily bookkeeping and VAT returns to the annual accounts and tax return. That leaves your hands free for the road.

We work with transport entrepreneurs in Zaandam, Amsterdam, Purmerend and across the rest of the Netherlands, at our office or fully online via our app.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from transport entrepreneurs

As a self-employed driver, do I have to charge VAT on international trips?
For transport abroad, the reverse-charge mechanism often applies: you invoice without VAT and your foreign client accounts for it. We assess per trip whether this applies to you.
Can I fully depreciate my truck or van?
Yes, vehicles are depreciated over their expected useful life. For business use, maintenance, insurance and fuel are also deductible. We calculate the correct depreciation for your situation.
What is a G-account (blocked account) and do I need one?
A G-account (blocked account) limits your liability in subcontracting. Do you work with subcontractors or as a subcontractor? Then we're happy to advise whether this is relevant for you.
