🔔 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐱 🔔 On 20 September, we're organising an office hours session with two tax experts from our team: Ugurcan Boy and Diderick de Roy van Zuidewijn. During these 30 minute 1:1 sessions, you can ask all of your questions related to Dutch taxes - see some example questions below! This session coincides with the annual 'Prinsjesdag' (Budget Day) when the Dutch government will announce changes to legislation that will come into effect in 2025. This is also a great opportunity to understand these changes and whether they affect you and your scaleup. Sign up through the link below and secure your spot! https://lnkd.in/gcQcNnuA ❔ Example questions ❔ - I have a new product/service - which VAT rate applies? - Is my legal structure on point or can we optimise this further? - Employee Incentive Plans (e.g. ESOPs) – what’s out there and what should I choose? - We’re expanding abroad – how should I structure this efficiently? - What should be stated on invoices from a Dutch tax perspective? - Is the current structure of my business OK from a Dutch tax perspective? - I want to hire new (experienced) employees – can I provide them with an attractive remuneration package (including e.g. options?) - I am currently looking for funding, what are the differences from a tax perspective between debt versus equity? - Can I deduct certain costs in the income tax return or certain VAT items in the Dutch VAT return?

The Dutch Tax Authority permanently closed the old portal on 1 July 2024. All users must switch to My Tax Authorities for Business, accounting software, or a tax service provider. From 29 January 2024, eHerkenning is available for companies and organizations without a Chamber of Commerce (KVK) number. As of 28 February 2024, eHerkenning is also available for fiscal units for VAT. The secure section for non-EU entrepreneurs to register VAT returns closed on 1 July 2024. Unfortunately, tax service providers without a KVK number cannot log in with chain authorization. For more details on logging in and preparing for these changes, visit  >> https://lnkd.in/dXuEiKVq Old portal is closed: switch to Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk. #DutchTaxAuthority #eHerkenning #MyTaxAuthorities #Entrepreneurs #VAT #TaxCompliance #TaxUpdates

The Belgian #Tax Authorities have opened a public consultation on the draft (Q)DMTT-return, with a deadline of 8 November 2024. With the first (Q)DMTT filing deadline set for 30 November 2025 (for fiscal years ending on 31 December 2024), businesses face a limited window to prepare. This public consultation aims to gather insights that will help finalize the return template and XSD-schema.

💼 Tax-Efficient Wealth Transfer & Inheritance Planning for Expats in the Netherlands 🌍 As an expat in the Netherlands, understanding the tax implications of wealth transfer and inheritance is crucial for preserving your assets for future generations. Here are the essentials: 📌 Inheritance Tax in the Netherlands The Dutch inheritance tax applies to the worldwide assets of residents, and to Dutch-based assets for non-residents. Rates depend on the relationship to the deceased and can range between 10%-40%. 💸 Tax-Free Gifting Allowances You can gift wealth during your lifetime to reduce future inheritance tax, using annual tax-free allowances. The amount varies by recipient—for example, children receive a higher allowance than friends or extended family. 📜 Strategic Planning with Wills and Gift planning Consider using wills, gift planning or special arrangements to ensure tax-efficient wealth transfer. Making a gift plan can help minimize taxes while ensuring your wealth reaches the intended beneficiaries. ✅ Avoiding Double Taxation For expats, inheritance or estate taxes may also apply in other countries. Explore double taxation treaties to determine if you qualify for relief and prevent paying taxes on the same assets twice. 👉 Need help navigating inheritance rules and optimizing your wealth transfer strategy? Schedule a call today to discuss your options! https://bit.ly/3Z3QKAc #DutchTaxAdvice #InheritanceTax #WealthPlanning #EstatePlanning #ExpatTax #Finance #WealthTransfer #TaxAdvice #GlobalTax
