Corporate and secretarial services in the Netherlands for foreign-owned companies

What we do for you

The monthly fee for your administration

You pay one amount per month for the whole administration. This is for the bookkeeping, the VAT return, the corporate tax return, the annual accounts and the company paperwork. The amount depends on your volume. This means the number of invoices and payments, whether there is payroll and whether you ship goods across the border. We put the amount in your written proposal before we start. We review it with you once a year. The first months cost less while your company has little activity. The monthly fee starts when your first supplier contracts start.

You get a written confirmation after every filing. You can reach us by email every working day. Before the end of the year, we tell you what you can still do to pay less tax. This can be about salary, dividend, borrowing from your own company or investments. This advice is part of the fee.

Is your company the Dutch subsidiary of a group abroad? See finance and compliance for your Dutch subsidiary: one yearly contract with group reporting, the Dutch filing calendar and a part-time chief financial officer (CFO) as finance contact.

Company records and filings: corporate secretarial services

A Dutch company must keep its legal records correct. They include the share register and the minutes of the yearly shareholders' meeting. They also include the shareholders' resolution to adopt the annual accounts, the dividend resolution with the balance sheet test, and the board's approval after the payout test. The details of the people who own or control the company, directly or through other companies, must be up to date. These details are in the UBO register. Changes of director or address must be filed at the KVK. We write these documents. You sign them, and we file and store them. A bank, a buyer or a tax inspector can then see that the records match the facts.

The yearly calendar of a Dutch BV

Filing deadlines depend on the financial year and the company situation. Extensions and special rules can apply, including where directors also own all the shares. We agree the calendar for your company. Read running a Dutch company.

Extra services, priced per item

You need some services only once. Each one has a fixed price. You find the prices in your proposal.

• Access to government portals. A business login called eHerkenning may be needed. We check the required access and the provider's identification process. A provider fee may apply.
• Import VAT permit. With a permit called Article 23, you report import VAT in your VAT return. Approval and deduction rules apply.
• Cross-border consumer sales. For qualifying sales to consumers in other EU countries, your company can use the EU VAT return for cross-border sales (OSS). It then reports these sales in one return. In some cases, a local VAT registration is still needed.
• Director salary. We check the salary rules and the evidence for a lower salary. Then you know which salary the tax office accepts for your company.
• Tax support for employees recruited abroad. We check whether the salary tax relief known as the 30% ruling applies. We also check the conditions and the transition rules.
• Trademark registration. We register your brand in the Benelux or in the whole EU.
• Yearly tax screening. Once a year, we review your profit, salary, dividend, loans and investments. We tell you in writing what you can improve.

How we work

First, the plan. We write down who owns what and where the director lives. We also describe how profit is paid to the shareholders and how a sale would work. You get this on paper, with the tax figures. Then, the setup. The steps are the notary, the KVK registration, the tax numbers and the bank file. You choose your business address and sign that contract yourself. Everything in writing. After each step, you get a document that you can show to a bank, a partner or a board.

After the setup, our back office does the administration. This is a Dutch accountancy team that works under our name and our responsibility. You have one contact and one email address for everything.

Who this is for

Do you have a company in the United Kingdom, the United States, India, Singapore or Hong Kong? This service is for you if you set up your EU base in the Netherlands. It is also for internationals in the Netherlands who want their BV and holding set up correctly from the start. Profit is taxed at 25.8% at most (2026).
