To register a new company or organisation in the Dutch Business Register (Handelsregister), you pay a one-off fee. This fee is tax-deductible for entrepreneurs. From 1 January 2025, the fee is €82.25.
You must pay this registration fee when you:
- register a company or organisation in the Business Register for the first time;
- register a restart, takeover, division, or merger that causes a new registration in the Business Register, with a new KVK number.
The registration fee is updated every year. The adjustment to the fee depends on inflation.

Do you need an extract from the Business Register?
When you register, you can order a paper certified or a digitally certified KVK Business Register Extract. Some banks require an extract from the Business Register, as do most wholesalers. Before ordering an extract, check whether a digital version is accepted.
