Yes... It's no wonder that my first accountant never realized that this could be possible.



Seems if you click enough, the tax site does mention it in some obscure tool. I always thought it only applied to goods.

Honestly, your accountant sucked. All the rules are about making sure value produced is taxed exactly once. No more no less. If you find a loophole out of that, you better triple check that, because it is definitely not the spirit these tax laws are written in.

Not to blame you - i too would trust a professional. Also, in Holland, accountancy is a protected profession. You can report them, because at the end of the day he/she took a risk that you would likely personally not have taken if you were aware of it.
