Grow beyond the Netherlands. Keep more of what you build.
Between corporate tax up to 25.8%, Box 2 on dividends, Box 3 on your assets, and an exit charge on substantial shareholdings when you emigrate, the Dutch load on founders is heavy. We build compliant UAE, Singapore and Panama structures for Dutch founders ready to operate internationally.
What profit costs you when it stays in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands is a fine place to build. But between Box 2 on the way out and Box 3 on what you hold, an ambitious founder gives up a lot. We restructure that legally, with genuine substance, coordinated with your Dutch adviser.
A structure that fits how you operate.
Not an off-the-shelf company in a free zone. A structure matched to where your clients are, where you want to live, and how you take money out.
The structure
- UAE Free Zone operating company, 0 to 9% corporate tax
- Panama or Swiss holding layer for equity and dividends
- Tier-1 UAE banking, arranged before you incorporate
- UAE Golden Visa or second residency where it helps
- Real economic substance: office and local presence
How we keep it clean
- Full CRS and DAC6 disclosure, nothing hidden
- Exit-tax position mapped before you move, not after
- CFC rules handled with genuine substance, not paperwork
- Coordination with your Dutch accountant, kept in the loop
- Ongoing support as the rules change, year to year
