Strategic Business Tax Planning

At TaxGate, we understand the pivotal role that effective tax planning plays in driving business success. Our business tax services are tailored to help companies minimize tax liabilities while remaining fully compliant with both Dutch and international tax regulations. We offer customized solutions in corporate tax planning, VAT registration, and tax compliance, allowing businesses to focus on growth and profitability.

Corporate Tax Planning and Compliance

Our corporate tax planning services are designed to assist businesses of all sizes—whether you are a start-up, SME, or multinational corporation—in developing strategies that reduce tax burdens while ensuring full compliance with Dutch tax laws. We help optimize profit distribution, structure investments, and take advantage of tax credits and incentives, such as R&D credits and the innovation box, so you can focus on long-term business growth.

VAT Registration and Cross-Border Compliance

Navigating VAT obligations can be challenging, particularly for businesses that operate across multiple jurisdictions. We assist with VAT registration, filing VAT returns, and ensuring compliance with both Dutch and EU VAT regulations. Our team provides expert advice on managing VAT for cross-border transactions, helping businesses successfully handle the complexities of international trade.

International Tax Structuring and Tax Efficiency

Effective tax structuring requires strategic planning to minimize taxes, maximize deductions, and avoid potential pitfalls. For companies engaged in international activities, we help navigate the tax complexities that arise from operations in multiple jurisdictions, addressing issues related to double taxation avoidance treaties and tax developments across the globe. Our expertise covers both inbound and outbound structuring, ensuring your business is set up for maximum tax efficiency. This includes helping you decide on the appropriate legal form for your business, whether a partnership or corporation, before beginning operations in the Netherlands. We also advise on establishing holding, financing, and licensing companies to optimize your business structure.

In addition, we offer guidance on developing tax-efficient transaction structures, including the merits of incorporating (sub)holding companies and repatriation structures, and strategies for intangible property planning. Our team has deep experience with thin capitalization solutions and the Dutch tax treatment of mergers, acquisitions, and liquidations. For companies entering the Dutch market, we provide startup support, guiding businesses through every step of establishing a presence in the Netherlands.

Mergers, Acquisitions (M&A), and Transfer Pricing

For businesses involved in mergers, acquisitions, or corporate restructurings, we offer specialized tax advisory services to ensure optimal tax efficiency. Our M&A advisory services include conducting tax due diligence, identifying potential tax risks, and structuring transactions in a way that maximizes tax savings. We also offer transfer pricing solutions, helping companies ensure that inter-company transactions comply with international tax regulations, reducing the risk of audits and penalties.

Ongoing Business Tax Support

In addition to planning and compliance, we provide ongoing business tax support as your company grows and evolves. Whether you need assistance with annual filings, VAT reporting, or navigating complex tax regulations, our team is here to provide expert guidance and ensure your business remains compliant with tax laws at every stage.
