Tax advice - knowing what you’re getting into

Tax problems rarely start with the return. They start with a decision taken months or years earlier: a legal form, a contract, a relocation, a structure set up without the tax side being weighed. Ask the question before anything is signed and the choice stays open; afterwards it becomes a matter of repairing what is already fixed.

This might be for you if you're dealing with

  • Choosing between an eenmanszaak (sole proprietorship) and a BV

  • Converting an eenmanszaak into a BV, and when that becomes worthwhile

  • Whether or not to set up a holding structure

  • Dividend or salary, the mandatory director's salary, and the current account with your own BV

  • Emigration or immigration, and what it means for income, assets and a substantial shareholding

  • A first client or employee across the border

  • Box 2 and box 3, and where assets are best held

  • Sale or transfer of the business

  • Agreeing a position in advance with the Tax Authorities

Process

The process starts with the current situation: what is going on, what do you intend to do, and which facts play a part. On that basis you receive written advice setting out the options and recommendations. In clear language, so that you can explain the conclusions to your business partner, your spouse or your bank.

Price and timeline

Defined advice carries a fixed price agreed in advance. Where the scope cannot be determined beforehand, the work is priced in stages. For an incorporation or a restructuring, the notary and the Chamber of Commerce also set the pace.


Frequently asked questions

I already have an adviser but I'm unsure about a piece of advice. Can I get a second opinion?

Is this only for complicated matters?

I've already made the decision. Is advice still worth anything?

A first conversation

An introductory call is not an intake, and not an advice session. You talk about what you’re working on, I listen and say what stands out, and by the end we both know whether this is a fit and whether advice would be useful. There is no charge for the conversation itself.
