Admin, VAT and rules for bol.com sellers

To sell on bol.com you need a registered business: a Chamber of Commerce (KvK) registration, or a KBO number in Belgium, and a VAT number. bol.com asks for these details when you create a seller account.

You as the seller create the invoice for your customer, not bol.com. Business buyers expect a correct VAT invoice, so make sure your invoicing is set up for that.

If you sell more than € 10,000 a year in total to consumers in other EU countries, you charge the VAT of the customer's country. You declare that VAT through the One Stop Shop (OSS).

Keep your invoices, purchase receipts and bol.com's payout statements, because you need them for your VAT return and your annual accounts. Also keep track of bol.com's service standards and policy rules, because violations lead to policy points and can cost you your account.
