Value Added Tax Permit Under Article 23
In order to support the international business in the Netherlands, the Dutch government has introduced a “VAT permit under Art. 23”. This document allows Dutch companies importing goods from non-EU countries to skip VAT payment with respect to the import value at customs. Usually, VAT payment is obligatory for European companies and therefore the permit can bring a huge advantage with respect to cash flow.
Frequently Asked Questions On Incorporating Dutch Company
Can you provide further information on Dutch BVs?
We have prepared a comprehensive brochure about Dutch BVs. The Dutch BV is comparable to a private limited liability company, which means that you are generally not personally liable for any debts you make with the company. The legal entity comprises a board of directors, shareholders and sometimes also a supervisory board. It is a well-respected legal entity that breathes professionalism, which will enable you to attract high-end clients and business partners. If you have further or personalized questions, please contact us.
What kind of taxes do companies pay in Holland?
For annual profits of up to €200.000, companies pay a 19% corporate income tax. Above this threshold, the tax rate is 25.8%. Next to that, you will also have to pay income tax and taxes on dividends you pay out. Please consult us to find out whether your country of residence has a tax treaty with the Netherlands, as this will enable us to provide you with personalized information regarding taxation in your specific case.

What are the available company types in Holland?
The entity preferred by most foreign investors is the private limited liability company, known as the Dutch BV. Other popular types are the foundation (stichting), the public limited liability company (NV), the cooperation, the general partnership, a collaborative entity and the sole proprietorship. If you are doubting about the best legal entity to suit your needs, you can find more information about company types on the website of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, or contact us directly for professional advice.
Do I have to obtain any special licenses or permits for my newly established Dutch company?
The requirements depend on the nature of your business and your scope of activities. A permit for conducting business ensures that you are able to legally sell, trade, store and engage in financial activities. Only a small number of companies need special licenses or permits. Make sure that you obtain a permit, when necessary, though, as conducting business without a permit in sectors that need one is illegal.
