What is Formulier 17a?
Dissolution is the decision to stop. The entity usually carries on existing for a while afterwards so that what is left can be divided and the debts settled, a process called vereffening, and a liquidator is registered to do it.
Where nothing is left at the moment of dissolution the entity ceases to exist immediately. That is a turboliquidatie, and the form asks you to say which of the two situations applies.
Who files Formulier 17a?
- Shareholders or a board dissolving a bv or nv
- A foundation, association or vve that has stopped
- A cooperative or mutual that has been dissolved
- Directors carrying out a turboliquidatie

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between dissolution and the end of the entity?
Dissolution is the decision to stop. The entity ends when liquidation is finished, which is reported separately on form 17b.
When is a turboliquidatie possible?
Only when there are no assets left at the moment of dissolution. There are separate accountability obligations for it, so take advice before choosing that route.
