Starting a business in the Netherlands
Are you an expat in The Netherlands and would you like to start your own business? While the business climate is generally favorable for international companies, various legal and fiscal considerations must be taken into account when starting a business in the Netherlands. Perhaps you are still in the process of deciding what business structure is tax-wise the most efficient. Or maybe you find yourself lacking in knowledge as to the Dutch tax laws and you want to avoid double taxation.
Starting business in the Netherlands
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 best business structure according to the Dutch tax rules. 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 are in possession of a vast, international network of advisors.

How can we help you?
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.
