The attractive Dutch tax climate
The supportive Dutch tax climate has a number of features that companies find extremely beneficial in international tax planning when competing in Europe.
- A Wide Tax Treaty Network: Aimed to avoid double taxation on income and capital.
- The Advance Tax Ruling Practice: This covenant between Dutch tax authorities and the taxpayer, allows companies to obtain a pre-determined tax ruling regarding what will be taxed.
- The Participation Exemption: All benefits related to a qualifying shareholding are exempt from Dutch corporate income tax.
- Tax Break for Expatriates: The Netherlands allows specific employees a tax-free reimbursement of 30% of the employee's salary.
- Lowered Corporate Tax Rate: Corporate income tax may be avoided if the activities in the Netherlands do not constitute a permanent establishment or permanent representative.
- Withholding Tax: The Netherlands assesses no withholding tax on outgoing interest and royalty payments.
