Business use includes, for example, contact with clients, suppliers, or online work. It is important that you can demonstrate and record the business use of your phone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We distinguish between:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fully business use:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You use the phone 100% for your company. This is rare, as almost everyone occasionally makes a private call or checks social media.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mixed use (business\/private):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You use the phone for both business and private purposes. This is the most common situation. The general guideline is that business use must be at least 10% for you to register a phone as a business asset.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>Purchase options: SIM-only, separate phone, or phone with subscription<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different ways to purchase a phone for business, each with its own tax rules:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Business SIM-only:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You already have a device and only take out a business SIM-only subscription. The VAT on the subscription costs may be deductible proportionate to business use.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Buying a separate phone for business:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You buy a separate device and optionally take out a private SIM-only subscription. If the purchase price of the device is above \u20ac450 (excl. VAT), you must depreciate it (see also Phone depreciation: when and how?). The VAT on the purchase is deductible proportionate to business use.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Using a private phone for business:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You continue to use your private phone for your business. In this case, only a portion of the subscription costs is deductible (proportionate to business use); the device value itself is not.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Phone with subscription (bundle):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You purchase a phone including a subscription through your company. The monthly costs are often higher, but the device is included. The VAT on both the device and the subscription is deductible proportionate to business use.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>VAT recovery on phone (device and subscription)<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The VAT on both the phone device and the subscription is deductible, but only for the &#8216;business&#8217; part.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fully business use:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Is the use 100% business? Then you can reclaim the VAT in full. In this case, it is preferred that the invoice is actually in your company&#8217;s name.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mixed use:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For mixed use, you must apply a private use correction. You estimate what percentage of the use is business. For example, if you use the phone 70% for business and 30% for private, you can reclaim 70% of the VAT paid. This correction can be applied annually or monthly.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>Phone depreciation: when and how?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A commercially purchased phone device is a business asset (&#8216;bedrijfsmiddel&#8217;). Specific rules for <\/span><b>depreciation (&#8216;afschrijving&#8217;)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> apply to business assets:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Devices &gt; \u20ac450 (excl. VAT):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the purchase price of your phone is \u20ac450 exclusive of VAT or more, you must depreciate the device. This means you do not deduct the costs all at once, but spread them over the economic lifespan of the device. For phones, this is usually 5 years. Each year, you then deduct 20% of the purchase price excl. VAT from your profit. These are called depreciation costs.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Devices &lt; \u20ac450 (excl. VAT):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Is the purchase price less than \u20ac450 exclusive of VAT? Then you must deduct the amount all at once as direct costs in the year of purchase.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You buy a business phone for \u20ac600 (excl. VAT). You depreciate it over 5 years. Each year, you can then deduct \u20ac120 (\u20ac600 \/ 5) from your profit.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sometimes different small investments can collectively form one business asset. For example, if you buy a laptop for \u20ac350 along with a monitor for \u20ac150, a mouse for \u20ac15, and a keyboard for \u20ac25, this together forms one business asset of \u20ac540. This means you must spread the depreciation over 5 years.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Using a private phone for business<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many freelancers (&#8216;zzp&#8217;ers&#8217;) choose to also use their private phone for business. This is possible, but the tax rules are more limited than when you register a phone as a business asset:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Subscription costs deductible:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You may deduct a reasonable percentage of the subscription costs as business expenses. A commonly used percentage is 75%.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Device value not deductible:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The purchase value of the phone itself is not deductible, as it is a private possession.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Demonstrate usage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is advisable that you can demonstrate business use, for example, through an overview of your call minutes or data usage, should the Belastingdienst request it.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>In summary<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your phone is essential for your business, and fortunately, you can process its costs in a tax-smart way. Whether you choose to register a phone as a business asset (&#8216;telefoon op de zaak&#8217;) or use your private phone for business: correctly processing VAT, depreciation, and subscription costs is crucial for your financial overview and to avoid surprises.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you unsure what you can deduct or how best to process your phone costs?
