Publications:

I used to regularly write articles for VAT magazines. Amongst others, I published in the International VAT Monitor and Dutch magazines such as Btw-brief and Btw-bulletin and made VAT contributions for (more general) magazines such as Fenedexpress, Computerrecht, real estate magazines, etc. When I started as a freelance VAT specialist in 2009, I found it important to stay informed about VAT developments all over the world. I developed a technique to allow me to do this in an efficient way, and bundled all news on a blog. As I enjoyed doing this and as I received so much positive feedback about my blog, I decided to take it to the next level. In April 2018 I launched VATupdate.com together with a former colleague of mine. On this website, we publish articles on a daily basis, together with our growing network of contributors, and we distribute weekly VAT newsletters with VAT news from all over the world.
