Buying second hand products can save you a lot of money. Furthermore it\u2019s sustainable to do so. For business purchases, buying second hand can also pay off. You might need a specific camera or maybe you found the perfect laptop bag on Marktplaats. Or you might trade in vintage clothing that you sell in your webshop. The good part is, you can declare these purchases as business costs in your administration just like you would with new products. Once you sell these products again, you need to declare this as well. What are the things you should keep in mind?<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Purchasing second hand goods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proof<\/em>
That man that sells you his camera through Marktplaats probably won\u2019t give you a receipt. If you buy the camera for your business and you want to declare it as business costs, you need a proof of purchase for your books.<\/p>\n

You can demonstrate the purchase buy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • A print screen of your bank for the transferred amount. Besides this it\u2019s recommended to keep a print screen of the ad and the e-mails you and the seller sent each other.<\/li>\n
  • Drawing up a written agreement between you and the man in Diemen-Zuid with a date, description, price and the name of the seller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Of course the price needs to be appropriate. You could check this by comparing ads of second hand similar products.<\/p>\n

    No VAT<\/em>
    No VAT is charged over second hand goods, sold by private individuals. You enter these purchases in your administration under VAT rate: \u201cnon\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Investing<\/em>
    If your purchase cost more than \u20ac 450 and you expect to use it for over one year, then it\u2019s considered as an investment in your books. Because you use an investment for several years, your bookkeeper will also divide the costs over several years. This is called writing off. A second hand purchase is no different from a new product in this regard.<\/p>\n

    If you invest over \u20ac 2.400 (that\u2019s the threshold for 2020), you get an extra deduction of 28% of the total invested amount in that year. You don\u2019t have to do anything for this, your bookkeeper will apply it in your income tax return. Second hand purchases also still count here!
