The
operations of the Chamber are funded by levies, namely
the registration fee upon registration of a company and
the annual contributions (jaarlijkse bijdrage) in the years
following the registration.
These levies as described in
article 15 of the Trade Registry Ordinance (AB 1991 No. GT 15), are based on the
invested capital reported
(Form 10). For more information on how to report the invested
capital

Reclassification of the invested
capital
According to the same article 15, paragraph 4 and 5, the Chamber is authorized to move a registered business to a higher
capital scale when there is reasonable doubt that the indicated investment
amount is not correct, or when the invested capital has not been filed. If
there is no consensus on the level of the invested capital, the Trade
Registry can request proper proof of this.
Periodically, as is the case in
2009, exercises
of reclassification are undertaken by the Chamber. The right of
companies to object to a Chamber's decision to reclassify is subject
to the stipulations according to the
Ordinance on Administrative Justice (LAR)
