French-Dutch Tax Lawyer (Netherlands)
Accompany your operations between France and the Netherlands
The Netherlands is central to European economic trade. Many French companies set up a subsidiary, holding company or commercial structure to support their international development. Investors and managers also have to hold interests in both countries, which means controlling the applicable rules on international taxation.
The organisation of these operations entails simultaneously understanding French tax law, Dutch law and the provisions of the Franco-Dutch tax convention. Appropriate structuring ensures secure investment and reduces the tax risks associated with cross-border activities.
Structure an establishment in the Netherlands
Choose the appropriate legal vehicle
The opening of a subsidiary or the formation of a company governed by Dutch law has varied objectives: commercial development, centralisation of certain functions of the group or international investment.
The structure must be chosen taking into account the fiscal, accounting and operational consequences of the project, as well as the relations that will exist with the French companies of the group.
Preventing risks related to international operations
An activity carried out between several States may lead to the qualification of permanent establishment, specific reporting obligations or difficulties in the distribution of profits.
Anticipation of these issues makes it possible to secure the organisation of activities and to limit the risks of recovery by the tax administrations concerned.
Organizing financial flows between the two countries
Intra-group transactions must comply with transfer pricing rules and the principles set out in international tax treaties.
Dividends, interest, royalties, provision of services or intra-group financing require appropriate documentation to demonstrate the economic reality of the operations and their compliance with French and Dutch tax requirements.
Prior analysis helps to strengthen the legal certainty of international groups while facilitating their relations with tax administrations.
Managing an international heritage
Individuals holding assets in the Netherlands or France must anticipate the tax consequences associated with revenue collection, asset disposal or transmission operations.
Whether it is real estate investment, equity in companies or financial investment, a comprehensive approach ensures consistency in the heritage strategy and the proper application of the mechanisms provided for in the Franco-Dutch tax treaty.
