Business Tax Services in the Netherlands for Expats and International Entrepreneurs

Running a business in the Netherlands comes with important tax obligations, especially for expats who are new to the Dutch system. At Nexpat, we specialize in helping international entrepreneurs and business owners manage their tax affairs with precision, efficiency, and full compliance. Whether you are starting your first Dutch company, expanding into the Netherlands, or operating across borders, our services are designed to help you minimize tax exposure, meet legal requirements, and focus on what matters most—growing your business.

Corporate Tax Compliance and Dutch Filing Requirements

As a business owner, you are responsible for meeting a range of tax obligations, including filing corporate income tax returns, maintaining proper financial records, and ensuring VAT compliance. These requirements can vary depending on your company’s size, structure, and international exposure. Nexpat takes care of the day-to-day tax administration so you can concentrate on running your business. We ensure your filings are complete, timely, and aligned with Dutch corporate tax law. From quarterly VAT submissions to annual tax returns, we manage the process from start to finish, keeping your company in good standing with the Dutch tax authorities.

Tax Structuring and Profit Optimization

Smart tax structuring can have a significant impact on your company’s bottom line. Nexpat advises on how to distribute profits efficiently, whether through salary, dividends, or a combination of both. We help you make the most of available tax benefits, including innovation incentives and R&D credits. Our goal is to design a structure that supports long-term growth, manages liabilities, and reflects your company’s actual business model. For expats using a Dutch B.V. as their operating company, we ensure that remuneration structures align with the 30% ruling and other tax planning opportunities, helping you retain more of what you earn while staying compliant.

International Tax and Cross-Border Planning

If your company is active across borders, international tax rules become an essential part of your strategy. Nexpat provides guidance on Dutch tax treaties, permanent establishment issues, and the tax treatment of foreign income and expenses. We work with entrepreneurs who hold companies abroad, operate remote teams, or run multi-entity structures. Our advice helps you navigate risks like double taxation, withholding obligations, and VAT on cross-border services. Whether you're moving operations into the Netherlands or expanding outward, we help structure your business for tax efficiency and global compliance.

Transfer Pricing and Intercompany Transactions

If your company is part of a group or engages in intercompany trading, Dutch law requires transfer pricing documentation to support the terms of these transactions. Nexpat ensures your intercompany agreements meet both Dutch and international standards. We prepare the necessary documentation, review your pricing models, and help you reduce audit risk by staying transparent and compliant. Our approach supports both tax efficiency and alignment with OECD guidelines.

Business Startups and Expansion Support

New businesses face unique tax challenges. Nexpat supports startups and early-stage ventures by helping you choose the right legal structure, set up tax registrations, and avoid common pitfalls. If you're expanding an existing company into the Netherlands, we offer practical guidance on setting up a Dutch branch or subsidiary, registering for VAT and payroll, and ensuring that your structure supports your long-term growth goals.

Ongoing Tax Advice as Your Business Evolves

As your business grows, your tax needs become more complex. Nexpat provides continuous support and regular reviews to ensure your tax strategy adapts to changing circumstances. We assist with restructurings, mergers, and other transactions that require strategic tax input. Our aim is to help you make informed decisions that balance business priorities with tax compliance and risk management.
