The Netherlands–UAE corridor is one of the most active in international tax planning. Understanding both jurisdictions in full is not optional. It is the starting point.
Netherlands – UAE
Taxboutiq has in-depth expertise in both Dutch and UAE tax law. The UAE has introduced a federal corporate income tax regime, with specific rates and thresholds for mainland and free zone entities. We advise clients on both sides of the corridor, from Dutch entrepreneurs establishing UAE structures to UAE-based investors with Dutch holdings and individuals planning a relocation.
What we do?
- UAE corporate tax structuring for mainland entities and free zone regimes, including qualifying income analysis
- Substance requirements in UAE free zones, covering core income-generating activities, staffing and expenditure thresholds
- Application of the Netherlands–UAE double tax treaty
- Dividend withholding tax analysis on distributions from Dutch entities to UAE shareholders
- Transfer of business activities or holding structures from the Netherlands to the UAE
- Dutch tax compliance obligations for entities with operations in both jurisdictions
- Personal tax planning for individuals relocating between the Netherlands and the UAE
- UAE VAT and excise considerations for Dutch businesses entering the UAE market
Who is it for?
- Dutch entrepreneurs establishing a UAE free zone company or mainland entity
- UAE-based investors with Dutch holdings, real estate or participations
- Individuals emigrating from the Netherlands to the UAE
- Companies with operations in both jurisdictions requiring coordinated tax advice
