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

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.
