What a Dutch distributor needs

Thursday cinema week

Booking grids, play weeks and holdovers run Thursday to Wednesday.

9% VAT on tickets

Dutch cinemas start with 9% VAT on tickets, taken off before your share is calculated.

Kijkwijzer ratings

Films carry their Kijkwijzer classification per version, printed on booking confirmations, with a warning when one is missing.

Peppol e-invoices

Rent invoices can go out as Peppol e-invoices.

Dutch settlement

From box office to Dutch rent invoices

DISTmio removes the ticket VAT, applies your share, guarantee or flat fee for each cinema week and turns approved settlements into rent invoices.

  • Weekly shares, guarantees and flat fees
  • Reverse-charge wording for cinemas abroad
  • ECB rate on foreign-currency invoices
