International Tax expertise in the Netherlands
Operating internationally means dealing with different tax systems, changing legislation and complex cross-border rules. Where is your income taxed? How do tax treaties apply to your situation? And how do you avoid unnecessary risks or double taxation while remaining fully compliant in the Netherlands?
At Bol International, we help international businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals bring structure and clarity to their international tax position in the Netherlands. From the moment you start or expand your activities, we provide practical guidance and clear advice—so you always know where you stand and what your next step should be.
Our specialists combine in-depth knowledge of Dutch tax law with international expertise. Whether it concerns double taxation relief, setting up a Dutch BV, transfer pricing, corporate (re)structuring or personal income tax in an international context, we translate complex tax rules into workable solutions that fit your business and personal situation.
With our multidisciplinary approach and personal way of working, you gain more than compliance alone. You gain insight, predictability and a solid tax foundation that supports sustainable international growth.

Dutch Business Setup
Starting a business in the Netherlands raises many questions, especially if you are setting up operations from abroad. What is the right legal structure? How do you register correctly? And what are the tax consequences from day one?
We guide you through the complete Dutch business setup, from the initial structure to registration and tax alignment. For many international entrepreneurs, setting up a Dutch BV is the logical choice. We advise on:
-
The optimal legal and tax structure
-
Registration with the Dutch authorities
-
Corporate tax and VAT positioning
-
Alignment with your international group structure
With Bol International, you start your Dutch business on a solid and compliant foundation.
Transfer Pricing
We support companies in designing, implementing, and documenting a transfer pricing policy that aligns the allocation of profits with value creation. In doing so, we focus on efficiency and simplicity to meet operational needs, while ensuring that companies meet their societal and regulatory obligations, minimise the risk of lengthy discussions with tax authorities and avoid double taxation or enter such discussions from a strong, well‑substantiated position when necessary.
Our specialists advise on the full spectrum of transfer pricing matters, including:
- The accurate delineation of intercompany transactions, by identifying the relationships and interactions between the related entities of the group.
- The design of a transfer pricing policy that ensures arm’s‑length pricing of the transactions as accurately delineated.
- The implementation of the transfer pricing policy within the organization’s administrative and financial systems.
- The documentation of the delineated transactions, the transfer pricing policy, and its ongoing implementation.
Corporate Structuring
To fully benefit from operating in the Netherlands, a local presence alone is not enough. International growth requires the right Dutch corporate structure: one that supports your ambitions today and remains effective in the future.
At Bol International, we support international companies in building a strong and sustainable corporate foundation in the Netherlands. We advise on selecting the most suitable entity structure, such as a Dutch BV, and ensure that governance, decision-making and tax positioning are aligned with your wider international organisation.
Our corporate structuring advice focuses on:
-
Choosing and implementing the right Dutch legal entity
-
Optimising governance and shareholder structures
-
Aligning Dutch operations with international group structures
-
Supporting growth, investments and long-term strategic goals
-
Connecting with trusted local partners where relevant
By combining corporate tax expertise with a clear understanding of your business ambitions, we help you structure your Dutch presence in a way that supports growth, control and continuity.
Personal Income Tax
For entrepreneurs, directors and key employees, personal tax often becomes more complex when working internationally. Emigration, working across borders or receiving income from multiple jurisdictions can have significant tax implications.
We advise on personal income tax in an international context, including the tax treatment of assets and remuneration. Our support includes:
-
Tax consequences of emigration
-
Salary splits for cross-border working
-
Structuring income and assets efficiently
-
Alignment between personal and corporate tax positions
This ensures clarity, compliance and predictability, both personally and professionally.
Corporate Tax
Corporate tax obligations differ per country and are subject to constant change. International businesses need a clear overview of where profits are taxed and how to remain compliant.
Our corporate tax specialists advise on Dutch and international corporate tax matters, ensuring compliance while identifying opportunities for optimisation. We support you with tax filings, planning and ongoing advice, always aligned with your wider business and international structure.
