The Netherlands is a popular country for conducting trade, distribution and storage – and with good reason. There are several possible benefits to be gained from organising your business through the Netherlands. At DB Tax & Legal we can advise you on making these benefits available to your organisation.
Possible benefits and tax advantages
The following benefits and tax advantages may be relevant:
- Profit tax exemption for shareholdings, which prevents profits that have already been taxed via a subsidiary from being taxed again through the parent company (within or outside Dutch territory).
- 30% tax facility for employees who come to work in the Netherlands because of their knowledge and skills.
- Facility for not having to finance VAT on import of goods that enter the Netherlands from outside the EU.
- Avoiding double taxation is an issue that the Netherlands has addressed. The Netherlands has signed tax treaties with over 60 countries. Reducing withholding tax and reducing tax on outgoing dividends are key objectives of such tax treaties.
- Facility to request a preliminary tax opinion from the Dutch Tax Authorities and, in general, the tax authorities cooperative attitude towards businesses.
