Additional requirements

To ensure that the PDF invoice can actually be processed quickly and automatically, there are a number of requirements and wishes regarding the delivery of the PDF invoice by mail that you should take into account:

• We receive your invoice only in an email to the email addresses listed above;
• You can send a maximum of one invoice per mail message;
• The mail may include as addressee (at "To...") only the mail address of the municipality. However, other addressees may be included as copy ("CC...");
• Preferably submit the invoice as a "readable PDF" (via "save as.... PDF") or UBL;
• The invoice must contain all legally required information from the Internal Revenue Service. See www.belastingdienst.nl. For completeness, we have included these items as an appendix to this letter;
• In addition to these legal requirements, the following should be considered when preparing the invoice: Coding/responsible person within our congregation/eventual obligation number (if applicable)
• The invoice may have attachments (e.g., performance statement/hour specifications). These may be provided in multiple file formats (PDF, MS-Office, JPEG, etc.);
• If there are multiple PDF files in a mail (invoice + attachments) Health that the file name of the invoice contains the word "invoice" and the file name of the attachment does not contain this word;
• Credit invoices can also be processed through Invoice Portal. These can also be sent by e-mail in PDF format. The same delivery requirements apply as for a regular invoice.

Reminders, reminders and questions

Reminders, reminders and questions regarding invoices should be sent directly to infofacturen@opsterland.nl. These messages cannot be processed through the regular invoice mail address and Invoice Portal.

Mention VAT identification number

The VAT identification number is the number under which you are registered with the tax authorities as an entrepreneur. A VAT identification number always has 14 positions and begins in the Netherlands with NL, for example NL001234567B01.

We can only process your invoice if it meets the above Requirements.
