Tax calendar
When is your OB return due?
Within fifteen days of the period (Landsverordening omzetbelasting 1999 art. 10; Algemene landsverordening Landsbelastingen art. 6 lid 2). If that day falls on a weekend or a Curaçao public holiday, it moves to the next working day.
This table is worked out with the same function as your return inside Bon Buku, and the same public holidays.

You do not deduct the OB on your purchases. You pay over your turnover; the OB you pay yourself is a cost.
