As you may know, the Dutch business community acquired a new “profits tax” on 1 January 2007. The profits tax has been radically overhauled, to give the Dutch economy a strong boost. This means companies must shift their tax focus. Deloitte professionals are uniquely well-qualified to advise you.

The primary aim is to make the Netherlands more appealing to foreign investors, and the main tools being used to achieve this are the introduction of the “group interest box” and “patent box” and the lowering of dividend and corporate tax.

In practice
These reduced rates must, of course, be paid for somehow. To some extent, they are being financed from general funds, so the burden is genuinely being eased. But the lion’s share must be funded by the business community itself. Deloitte’s tax advisors have an unparalleled understanding of the potential consequences of the new profits tax for your organisation, so you are in safe hands with Deloitte for your corporate tax issues.
