Setting up an BV

The Netherlands is recognised for its favourable tax climate for foreign businesses, with regard to both corporation tax and value added tax. Foreign private limited companies enjoy various exemptions. In particular, the internationally renowned participation exemption often offers interesting benefits.

Expats

The Netherlands is an inviting country for expats. You can get by easily with English, and you’ll find that the country is multi-cultural. In addition, expats benefit from the 30% ruling. Flynth will be happy to sort this out with you and your employer.  

Employment-law issues

In the Netherlands employment-law issues are regulated slightly differently than in other countries. The Dutch system has a reputation for being complex, for example, to the Americans.

Audit/Assurance

It is important for you to know how you are positioned internationally and that the figures are accurately recorded. Auditing rules can be different from one country to the next. We and our international partners know the various regulations and can arrange the audit for you. 

We know the country and people. We bridge the gap and make your start in the Netherlands smooth and successful.
