International pension transfer
If you have a Dutch pension fund for example, you live in the Netherlands, and now you wish to move abroad again, it is often hardly ever possible to transfer your pension. Perhaps in your case it’s the other way round and you live in the Netherlands, and receive a pension from abroad. Or have you paid tax on your pension and are you wondering if you shouldn’t have? Usually the relevant tax treaty defies what country can tax a pension in an international situation.
Your situation
In the situations mentioned above it is wise to let an international tax advisor have a look at your situation. We can advise you on the possibilities according to the Dutch and treaty tax rules and look after your pension. For advice regarding the national tax system of another country, a local advisor will have to be employed, who knows all the ins and outs of this. We have access to a vast, international network of advisors.

Suurmond Tax-Consultants has been advising expats and individuals for over 35 years. After contacting us it will become clear whether we are the right party to help you.
In a contact form or an e-mail you can explain your situation and ask us any questions you may have. Your situations will be looked at by one of our advisors. On the basis of this, the tax advisor will come back to you with a fee proposal.
If you agree, then the advisor will look at the different aspects which apply to your situation and which elements are important to work on. Subsequently a proposal is made based on your circumstances on which you need advice and guidance.
We don’t work with a standard rate as every situation is unique. We are also dependent on information and details from your side as well. In addition, how your case will proceed depends on the response of the tax inspector to our point of view.

IIf you are receiving a pension from another country while residing in the Netherlands, or vice versa, it’s crucial to ensure that your actions are in full compliance with the applicable regulations to avoid any issues. The Tax Office can impose high penalties if your affairs aren’t in order and presented correctly.
At our office you can be certain that you will be supported by experienced advisors and who will provide you with expert tax advice. Your tax returns can be looked after and depending on the type of your pension we will look into any tax exemptions and advantages that can be used.
Or if your pension is being paid out in lump sum we can advise also. We can help reclaim wrongly paid tax on your pension or benefit. In the most diverse circumstances we are committed to providing complete tax advice.
