Since the BV was closed in Oct 2022, and my Accounting I paid didn't file the Zero Vat, and yearly Tax returns. I still get letters of fines from the Tax office. I emailed them many times asking to remove the fines.
I wanted to know since I am not able to pay these fines or hire a lawyer, can the Tax office file any claims agenst me as the director? Or the shareholders in the USA?
One friend said don't go back to the Netherlands.
Any suggestions or advice?
Here is the letter

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to provide you with an update regarding my previous request to have all VAT and Corporate Tax fines waived. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to afford the services of an accountant to file the VAT and Corporate Tax fines. Despite my best efforts, I have been unsuccessful in finding any free services to assist with corporate tax filings in the Netherlands, leaving me with limited options.
I am reaching out to you in the hope that you may be able to offer some assistance. Due to my unsuccessful attempt to establish a business in Europe, I have lost everything, including my investments and business.
Furthermore, I want to emphasize that I am not a Dutch National and my knowledge of the business and taxation processes in the Netherlands is limited. My company was mostly inactive, and when it did engage in trade, it generated minimal to no revenue and never turned a profit. The impact of COVID-19 has had a significant effect on me.
I sincerely hope for your understanding and support in canceling the fines for the VAT and Corporate Tax, thereby resolving all issues related to Steffanini International BV.
Throughout this matter, I have been transparent with you, and I genuinely hope for your empathy and understanding.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
