Starting a business in the Netherlands
Are you an expat in The Netherlands and would you like to set up your own business? Although the business climate is mostly favourable for international businesses, many legal and fiscal aspects will have to 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
When is it recommendable to hire an international accountant?
- If you are looking into starting a business in the Netherlands and want advice and support;
- If you want advice about what type of business suits your situation best;
- If you would like to know if you could qualify for the 30% ruling by starting a business in the Netherlands;
- If you have started a business in the Netherlands and are looking for the most tax efficient structure.
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.

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. Then a proposal is made with all the elements included on which you need advice and guidance.
After this, we will update you on the amount of hours which we expect will be required. It is not always easy to make an accurate estimate as we are dependant on information and details from your side as well.
