India–Netherlands Business Desk

Grow across borders. Stay in control.
Expanding between India and the Netherlands brings exciting opportunities—and plenty of financial, tax and regulatory questions.
The India–Netherlands Business Desk brings together Maas Accountants, Share Impact Accountants and CNK. We support Indian businesses entering the Netherlands and Europe, as well as Dutch businesses establishing or expanding their activities in India.
From company setup and tax structuring to accounting, payroll, reporting and audit, we coordinate the work across both countries. You have one lead adviser, direct access to local specialists and a clear view of every next step.

One connected approach
Cross-border business often involves different advisers, unfamiliar regulations and competing deadlines. We make sure everything connects.
Your lead adviser keeps the overview and coordinates the Dutch and Indian specialists involved. Financial, tax and reporting decisions are considered from both perspectives, helping you avoid gaps, delays and unnecessary complexity. You focus on growing your business. We take care of the financial framework around it.

From India to the Netherlands
Planning to establish a Dutch company or use the Netherlands as a base for your European activities?

Maas Accountants can become your day-to-day financial partner in the Netherlands. We help you choose and establish the right structure, set up your accounting and payroll, meet Dutch tax and reporting obligations and provide reliable information to your headquarters.
Where Indian tax, transfer pricing or regulatory matters are involved, our Dutch and Indian advisers work together from the start.

From the Netherlands to India
Establishing or investing in India requires local knowledge and careful coordination with your Dutch organisation.
CNK supports the Indian side of your operations, while Maas Accountants remains connected to your Dutch group structure, financial administration and reporting requirements. Together, we align the advice and implementation across both countries.

Support beyond the setup
Our involvement does not have to end once the company has been established. We can continue to support you with accounting, payroll, tax, reporting, audit and compliance.


How we work:

1. Understand your plans
We start with your commercial goals, activities, preferred structure and timetable.

2. Build a coordinated plan
The Dutch and Indian teams identify the relevant requirements, choices and responsibilities.
