The Netherlands: No withholding tax on royalties
The corporate and tax legislation in The Netherlands is well developed and provides an excellent basis for structuring complex arrangements and structures. Foreign owned enterprises can arrange financing transactions that will maximise global revenues and return on capital. The Dutch fiscal treatment of foreign branch income generally also applies to profits from real estate.
International groups appreciate the Netherlands for setting up holding and investment companies, finance subsidiaries and licensing companies. Incorporation can be handled swiftly. There is an extensive network of double tax treaties. The fiscal system allows for deducting expenses from gross income and favourable treatment of losses. Corporate taxation is moderate and there is no withholding tax on interest and royalty payments. The Dutch participation exemption allows for all benefits of a Dutch (holding) company from a qualifying participation in both Dutch and foreign companies, both dividends and capital gains, to be exempt from corporate income tax.
