Frequently Asked Questions on Netherlands Offshore Companies

The Netherlands is not a traditional offshore haven like the BVI or Cayman Islands. However, it is considered a tax-efficient jurisdiction for holding and finance companies due to its extensive tax treaty network, participation exemption, and favorable rulings on advance tax agreements (ATAs).

Because the Netherlands offers:

  • No withholding tax on EU dividends (under EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive)

  • Participation exemption (no tax on qualifying dividends and capital gains)

  • Strong IP protection laws

  • A stable legal and political environment

Yes, foreigners can own 100% of a Dutch B.V. (Besloten Vennootschap). There are no nationality restrictions on shareholders or directors.

The minimum share capital is €0.01 per share. In practice, most companies start with €1 or €100 for simplicity.

Yes, for the right structure. The Netherlands offers:

  • Advance tax rulings

  • 0% tax on qualifying participation income

  • Innovation Box regime (effective tax as low as 9% for qualifying IP income)
    However, misuse can attract scrutiny from Dutch and international tax authorities.

Dutch B.V.s must:

  • File annual financial statements

  • Submit a corporate tax return

  • Maintain proper bookkeeping

  • Appoint at least one local director if substance is required (for tax treaty access)

Yes, the standard corporate income tax is:

  • 19% on the first €200,000

  • 25.8% above that (as of 2025)

But exemptions like participation exemption and treaty benefits may reduce effective tax to 0% for certain types of income.

Yes, but banks now require substance and KYC documentation. This includes:

  • Business plans

  • Contracts

  • Local office or director presence

Not in the same way as offshore jurisdictions. Dutch law requires transparent UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) disclosure, and nominee arrangements must be fully disclosed and legally structured.

Typically 3–5 working days once all documents are in order and notarized. Worldwide Fellow clients can expect a streamlined process with guided compliance.
