Transfer pricing
Around 70% of all world trade consists of intra-group transactions. If you transact with other group companies, transfer pricing documentation that complies with Dutch standards is important both for your business in the Netherlands and the parent company. Our professionals will help you draw up, assess, document and substantiate your transfer pricing policy. High-quality transfer pricing documentation will put your company in a much stronger position should you have to enter into discussions with the tax authorities.
30% scheme
The Dutch 30% scheme is a commonly used facility designed to attract foreign workers with a specific area of expertise to the Netherlands. Under the scheme a flat-rate, tax-free allowance can be paid as a contribution towards the costs the worker incurs in connection with his or her employment in the Netherlands (e.g. travel costs, language courses, residence permit, etc.). Our experienced employees will check whether you meet the conditions and will support you in applying this facility.
