The combination of multiple years of experience gained at prestigious law firms and the flexibility of a young organisation enables us to provide first rate tax advice in an efficient way.
We pride ourselves on our signature personal service combined with deep knowledge of the Dutch tax and legal market. With our boutique style approach we are able to give a personal touch to our work. We have a strong international network and are used to work with advisory firms all over the globe.
We provide specialist tax and legal advice to large and mid-sized enterprises as well as high net worth individuals, and we are often asked to provide advice in the fields of international structures, private equity, M&A, restructuring, real estate and remuneration schemes, as well as private client affairs.
Additionally, we provide tax compliance services enabling us to be involved from initial consultation to implementation, as well as the ongoing compliance over the following years.
Our Services
Tax advisory services are our core activity and ranges from analyzing an existing tax position to pro-actively investigating alternatives for optimization.
Our tax advice covers the wide array of Dutch taxation, such as corporate income tax, dividend withholding tax, VAT, wage tax, personal income tax and the application of double tax treaties.
In addition, we advise on the tax aspects of fund formation, international structuring, M&A (including due diligence and transaction documentation), real estate transactions, restructuring projects, incentive plans. Where necessary, we liaise with the tax authorities to determine the tax position and to conclude an advance tax ruling (ATR) or advance pricing agreement (APA).

We always strive to achieve an acceptable solution in the event of a dispute with the tax authorities. Mediation nowadays proves to be an adequate solution for corporate disputes including tax disputes. Should mediation not appear to be a practical solution, then we will not hesitate to commence legal proceedings. After initially analysing the legal position and the chances of success, we will then determine a strategy and outline next steps, whilst always taking into account the broader picture and as well as the future relationship with the tax authorities.
-
Most (boutique) tax firms limit themselves to just tax advisory services; we have a different approach and also provide tax compliance services such as the preparation of corporate income tax returns, dividend withholding tax returns VAT returns and other tax compliance matters. This enables us to monitor our clients’ tax position continuously and to make sure that tax advice is well implemented.

We have a strong network of lawyers, notaries and foreign tax and legal advisors as well as advisory firms that we can rely on where necessary.
