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.
