Taxation of a B.V.

For the profits of a B.V. Corporation tax (“vennootschapsbelasting”) is due. The Dutch corporate tax is lower than its German counterpart. The website of the Belastingdienst, the Dutch tax authority, provides an overview of the tax rates. Winnings up to and including 200,000 euros are currently taxed at 19 percent. A tax rate of 25.80 percent applies to higher profits. Very attractive for companies that want to venture into Holland.
