Tax Service: eHerkenning 3
Is your organization in need of access to the Tax Service’s online services? The Tax Service eHerkenning 3 token is designed specifically for submitting returns to the Tax Service in The Netherlands, ensuring seamless compliance with tax requirements. We are here to explain what this means for your organisation and are happy to assist you.
What is eHerkenning?
eHerkenning is a standardized login system granting access to the online services of over 500 organizations, predominantly government bodies. Increasingly, private entities such as insurers and pension funds are also adopting eHerkenning.
The system offers three assurance levels: EH2+, EH3, and EH4. Many online service providers now require users to authenticate with at least level-3 eHerkenning. EH3 is necessary for accessing portals like the Employee Insurance Scheme Executive Body’s Employer’s Portal and the Tax Service’s business portal. Notably, the Tax Service portal can now also be accessed using a dedicated Tax Service eHerkenning 3 token.
Tax Service eHerkenning 3 token
A Tax Service eHerkenning 3 token allows access to the Tax Service’s business portal for submitting VAT, wage tax, and corporation tax returns. It’s cheaper than a standard EH3 token and eligible for a rebate from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).
However, it has specific limitations:
- It cannot be used for other eHerkenning-based services such as those provided by the Employee Insurance Scheme Executive Body, Vehicle Licensing Authority, and Customs Service.
- Only one Tax Service eHerkenning 3 token can be linked to each Trade Register Number.
- It can only be issued to a natural person fully authorized to act for the organization and can only be used by that person.
Standard EH3 tokens
Considering using eHerkenning for more than just tax returns? Concerned about the limitations of the Tax Service EH3 token? If so, we recommend opting for a standard EH3 token initially. It provides access not only to level-3 assurance services but also to lower-level services. This flexibility allows one token to access a range of services from different providers.
