Open Item: BTW settlement period intervals need to be extended beyond early 2026 before the first live OB-aangifte filing. Generate intervals for BTW-MONTH from March 2026 through at least December 2027. Additionally, evaluate whether "verlegde BTW" (Dutch reverse charge) should apply to Norwegian vendor management services.
