Investing or moving abroad always has tax consequences. Especially if you are a business owner. It is important to keep in mind that moving or investing abroad can result in substantial tax benefits - for instance by making use of (special) tax regimes in Spain, Switzerland, Montenegro, Greece or Dubai (UAE). However, equally crucial is to make sure that there are no loose end in the Netherlands. The Dutch Tax Offices levies certain exit taxes on corporate and personal level, often limited by the various tax treaties that the Netherlands have with most countries in the world. Knowledge of those exit taxes and tax treaties is essential. Furthermore, the are rules in place (transfer pricing, source taxation) to prevent international profit-shifting. It is always better to start out with a smart international structure than to have to correct it later.
Mere investing in real estate abroad, without moving, brings up tax questions too: whether to use a legal entity or not; how to finance the acquisition; how to repatriate the proceeds; etc.
Tax advisor Joost de Leeuw with DTS Tax Solutions has spent the last decade advising Dutch business owners and investors about the tax consequences of moving themselves, their families and/or their businesses abroad. He has a comprehensive understanding of exit taxes, transfer pricing and tax treaty application, as well as an extensive international network of trusted tax advisors in many attractive jurisdictions.
