  • It was another great edition of the KLM run in Curaçao. With some colleagues, we enjoyed the beautiful course through the historic centre of Willemstad and across the Juliana Bridge (with beautiful views of the island). Thanks to the organisation, Rootz Tax Lawyers will definitely be back next edition. Rootz Tax Lawyers - Your partner in Dutch Caribbean & Suriname tax law

  • Heeft u in 2023 een waardestijging van uw vastgoed in Caribisch Nederland (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius & Saba) gerealiseerd door bouw, verbouw, verbetering, uitbreiding of renovatie? Vergeet dan niet om uiterlijk 31 december 2024 de investeringsvrijstelling aan te vragen. Met deze faciliteit hoeft de waardestijging als gevolg van genoemde werkzaamheden in de komende tien jaar niet in aanmerking te worden genomen bij de berekening van de vastgoedbelasting. Het is voorgesteld deze termijn in te korten naar vijf jaar per 1 januari 2025. Dit zal onder het huidige wetsvoorstel geen impact hebben op investeringen waarvoor de investeringsfaciliteit reeds is toegekend. Voor meer informatie wordt verwezen naar onderstaande tax update.   Heeft u vragen of hulp nodig bij uw aanvraag? Neem gerust contact op via [email protected]   --------   Have you realised an increase in the value of your real estate in the Caribbean Netherlands (Bonaire, Statia & Saba) in 2023 through construction, rebuilding, improvement, extension or renovation? Then don't forget to apply for the investment exemption no later than December 31, 2024. With this facility, the increase in value resulting from the aforementioned work does not have to be taken into account when calculating the real estate tax (in Dutch: vastgoedbelasting) over the next 10 years. It is proposed to shorten this period to five years as of January 1, 2025. Under the current legislative proposal, this will have no impact on investments for which the investment facility has already been granted.   Do you have any questions or do you need help with your application? Feel free to contact us at [email protected]

  • 🌍 New Streamlined Procedures for Foreign Worker Permits in Suriname! 🌍 Exciting developments in Suriname for businesses and multinationals! As of November 1, 2024, a streamlined process is now in place to simplify short-stay visa, work, and residency permit applications for foreign professionals. These changes were outlined at a presentation on October 18 at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Business, and International Cooperation (BIBIS), hosted for the business community by representatives from BIBIS, the Ministry of Labor, Employment & Youth Affairs (AWJ), the Ministry of Justice & Police, and the Ministry of Home Affairs. Key Highlights: 🚀 21-Day Processing: Thanks to this new approach, permits should now be processed in as little as 21 days. 💻 Online Registration & One Stop Unit (OSU): With the OSU launched on November 1, applications can be handled jointly by BIBIS, AWJ, and Justice & Police representatives, reducing wait times and increasing efficiency. Only the Civil Registry (CBB) and Foreign Police will need separate contact. With significant growth in Suriname's oil and gas sector, demand for foreign experts will increase—not just in energy but across related industries. As noted by Luziano Truideman, Director of General Management & Consular Affairs, this initiative responds to business concerns over previous delays in permit approvals, which impacted essential operations and tax registration. After two years of dedicated inter-ministry coordination, this new procedure is now in effect for eligible companies and multinationals in Suriname. It aims to grant qualified businesses faster access to necessary permits, unlocking opportunities for foreign talent and investment in Suriname’s rapidly evolving economy.
