The Kingdom of the Netherlands gained independence at the end of the 16th century, having previously been under Spanish rule. The next century was a century of great breakthroughs in development, in particular in such sectors of the economy as commerce and navigation. As a kingdom, the state was founded after the occupation by the French at the beginning of the 19th century.

Militarily neutrality remained for a long time. The modern state of the Netherlands is one of the most developed European countries. Participated in the process of founding organizations such as the European Union and NATO. Actively participated in the introduction of the euro, which became the national currency.

Forms of doing business – Company in the Netherlands

The Kingdom has created an opportunity for several forms of international business. Entrepreneurs choose the most profitable options:

  • BV is a closed company;
  • NV – open.

The most commonly used BV is because shareholders are not required to be held accountable for the company’s debts. There is also no need to be held liable for her obligations.

In addition to the basic options, the following companies are also used:

  1. Financial. The optimal solution for legal entities that can create a limited liability company, as well as an open partnership of shareholders. Income tax is 25% if the taxable income of the company exceeds EUR 200,000. If it does not exceed, the income tax will be 20%.
  2. Holding. It is especially convenient when the parent company is located in another country. In the Netherlands, the branch is protected from double taxation due to the existence of many treaties for the avoidance of double taxation with other countries.
  3. Partnership. It is created on the basis of partnership, one of the partners is the general one. Such organizations are not subject to corporate tax.
  4. Royalty. With the correct incorporation of a company, it receives many benefits from the treaties that the Netherlands signed to avoid double taxation.
  5. European corporate society. The basic condition is the presence of partners from at least two European states.
  6. Cooperatives. The so-called associations of members, the responsibility of which is determined by the articles of association.
  7. European societies. A public company of the European Union, which allows you to register it in one state (EU member) and re-register in another.

An extensive selection of forms of doing business allows you to think over the conditions well and choose the most profitable option for your business. In addition, constant economic changes towards progress open up many new areas for commerce and other activities.

The new conditions, which are stipulated by the laws of the kingdom, were adopted in October 2012. The tax policy and registration requirements have undergone modifications, which have been significantly simplified. A company requires a minimum of paperwork in the process of functioning.

  • for dividends – 15%, can be reduced in accordance with agreements concluded by the Netherlands;
  • VAT – at the generally accepted rate of 21%, preferential rates are 6% and 0%.

Such types of taxes as stamp duty on income growth, on interest on dividends and royalties are generally absent.
