Good to know, thank you!

I recently made some office purchases for my business. Am I allowed to claim back the VAT as Voorbelasting, even though I never pay VAT to the Belastingdienst myself? My situation: I'm a registered ZZP'er living and working exclusively in the Netherlands, but all my clients are in another EU country. This means that instead of charging VAT on my invoices, I use the EU reverse charge rule (the client has to add the VAT in their own country). When I submit my quarterly Btw-aangifte to the Belastingdienst, I therefore never owe any VAT. By the way, I don't use the Kleinondernemersregeling. So if a Dutch client hires me, I would have to charge them VAT and then pay this to the Belastingdienst. However, I run a translation business offering completely different languages than Dutch, so I don't expect to have any Dutch clients in the foreseeable future. Is it allowed to claim Voorbelasting for my office expenses when all my VAT is reverse-charged to another EU country?
