We are familiar with the process of starting up a business in the Netherlands. Should you establish a branch office or incorporate a legal entity? What home country and Dutch income taxes will your expatriate employees be subject to? How much (non-productive) time will your employees spend trying to fulfill administrative requirements? Our advisory services include:

Company Formation in the Netherlands and related services: the opening of bank accounts, initial advise regarding best company type to be incorporated in the Netherlands, shareholder structure, advise related to the taxation of individuals and corporate entities. We provide an integrated and efficient solution regarding taxation in the Netherlands.

Maas Accountants specialize in corporate finance and tax preparation for foreign companies doing business in Europe. For over 20 years we have guided small to medium-sized enterprises through complex and unfamiliar Dutch processes with:

• Cost-saving advise on Dutch investment incentives
• Outsourced financial setup and management
• Information needed to comply with government requirements
• Preparation of required contracts and forms
• Native fluency in the Dutch language

Unlike the small business practices of multinational accounting firms, we provide customized services and develop close working relationships with our clients. As a result, Maas Accountants serves as the main point of financial contact between headquarters and its Dutch subsidiary. We allow your employees to concentrate on growing your core business and we provide continuity through staffing changes.

The Netherlands holds many practical advantages as a base for your European subsidiary:
• Attractive tax rulings for foreign investors
• The Netherlands as an acknowledged world trade center for Europe
• Well educated workforce
• English as the business language
• Geographical position (the main port for the European continent)

For all its business appeal, however, the Netherlands also represents a challenge for corporate controllers. Many legal and business requirements differ greatly from non-EU countries. And despite the EU, each European jurisdiction has its own regulations.
