Healthcare industry

One of the reasons that healthcare is so fascinating is that it is a constantly evolving industry. Much of that change is driven by the steady stream of new laws and regulations introduced in recent years. These have significantly reshaped youth care and the broader healthcare landscape, both medically and financially. So how do the tax rules for travel expenses apply? And what about the extended VAT exemption? We’re here to think things through together!

Healthcare

Most healthcare providers have made significant changes in recent years. They’ve developed new strategic plans, adjusted their care offerings, and sometimes reorganised as a result. The decentralisation of healthcare has also meant dealing with multiple municipalities, each with its own reporting or billing system. In addition, the annual mandatory Healthcare Annual Accountability Report (Jaarverantwoording Zorg) requires close attention and specific expertise.

Regulations for healthcare institutions

Plenty of rules, plenty of questions:

  • Public and Semi-Public Sector Senior Officials Standards Act (WNT - Wet Normering Topinkomens)
  • Healthcare Providers Admission and Supervision Regulation (Wtza - Wet toetreding zorgaanbieders)
  • Guidelines for financial reporting
  • Youth support under the Social Support Act (WMO-jeugdhulp)
  • Regulation on the Public Annual Accountability under the Healthcare Market Regulation Act (RojW - Regeling openbare jaarverantwoording WMG)
  • Healthcare Annual Accountability Report (Jaarverantwoording Zorg)
  • Data Breach Notification Law and privacy legislation (Wet Datalekken en privacywetgeving)
  • digiMV (digital reporting system for the healthcare sector)

A cluster of legislation and reporting systems that applies to your institution.

Do you have questions about the WNT, changes in financial reporting standards, or the valuation of assets? Our accountants and advisors get these questions frequently, so you're not alone. We’re also often asked about setting up provisions and internal controls for production reporting. Finally, tax compliance continues to be a key issue for every healthcare institution.

Keeping Your Finger on the Pulse

Given the current pace of change in healthcare legislation and regulations, it's essential to keep your finger on the pulse. That’s why we schedule three standard meetings a year with our clients to discuss where action is needed. And we appreciate our proactive clients too, as they often reach out early to clarify uncertainties.

We support a wide range of clients in the healthcare sector, from assisting GP practices with their bookkeeping to auditing annual reports. We also audit specific financial reports, such as final settlements and Social Support Act declarations (WMO statements). We’re happy to share the practical experience we've gained over the years. Our healthcare clients value our approach, accessibility, proactive mindset, industry knowledge, and short lines of communication.
