Frequently Asked Questions
On Accounting
Do I need to have a Dutch director for my Netherlands company’s tax status?
No, around 95% of our clients set up a foreign owned company without a Dutch Director. We have assisted hundreds of foreign business owners with their accounting, in our experience, having or not having a Dutch director has never been a determining factor for any of our clients’ corporate tax status for their company of operations. The general rule, according to the Dutch law of Corporate income tax (Wet Vpb), article 2, section 3 states as follows: ‘’If a company has been formed according to Dutch law, then with regard to the corporate tax …. The corporation is regarded to be resident in the Netherlands.’’ (Updated on: 09 September 2024)
If I don’t have any transactions, why would I need to have accounting services?
In the Netherlands, any existing BV company must file for annual returns, keep an organized accounting, and deposit the annual statement. Even if they do not have any transactions or a VAT number. The Netherlands allowing a dormant company is a common misconception, the Netherlands does NOT recognize ‘dormant companies’.
What is the added value for me to have a Dutch accountant?
Firstly, we will make sure your business stays compliant with the Dutch tax office. Our experience shows that many entrepreneurs who do not take our accounting services with their BV formation package, often end up with additional costs in tax fees for not filing the correct tax returns. Resulting in additional costs and paperwork. Secondly, you can focus on your main business activity without worrying about the Dutch regulations.
