Frequently asked questions from entrepreneurs like you 

When doing business across borders, entrepreneurs often encounter the same obstacles. These include setting up a company, taxation, and working conditions. We are familiar with these issues and can provide clear answers.  

How do I set up a BV in the Netherlands?  

A BV (Besloten Vennootschap) is the Dutch equivalent of a GmbH in Germany and, like a GmbH, offers limited liability. NeD Tax will support you every step of the way. 

How can I avoid double taxation? 

When conducting cross-border business between the Netherlands and Germany, it is essential to be aware of the tax treaty between the two countries. The treaty determines which country can tax different types of income, such as wages, profits and dividends. 

What working conditions apply to employees in the Netherlands? 

In the case of cross-border employment, it must be checked which country’s social security system the employee is covered by and which law applies to the employment contract. Sound advice can prevent surprises for employers and employees alike, and create clarity.
