VAT forms

This page provides an overview of the various VAT forms. You can see at a glance which forms are already available online and which still need to be submitted in paper form. The table provides direct access to the online form or PDF download.

Our goal is to make access to the forms you need as easy and transparent as possible. The overview is continuously updated as soon as new digital options become available. Applications are accepted both in paper form and online, provided that the corresponding paper form is still displayed here.
