For tax advice, structuring, planning and cross-border questions outside a package.
| Service | Rate |

Typical engagements: cross-border tax structuring, residence and treaty analysis, Box 3 planning, multi-jurisdiction income planning, scenario-based guidance.
Excl. VAT. Advice is included in the Pro Setup only.
There are two routes to a Dutch B.V.: a standard setup, where the structure is already clear, and a Pro Setup, where we first define the structure.
International situation? Start with a review
If you are a non-resident founder, plan to relocate to or from the Netherlands, have activities in several countries, or want a holding or multi-entity structure, we start with a consultation (€250) or a Netherlands Market Entry Review (€750). This prevents you from choosing the wrong structure and determines whether a standard or Pro Setup applies.
Start
Strictly domestic B.V. setups, Dutch resident founder, no international elements.
Core
A single Dutch B.V. with a clear, standard structure, including custom articles of association.
Pro
Holding, cross-border, relocation or multi-entity structures where the structure must be defined first. Includes advice and a written tax memo.

The Chamber of Commerce's own registration fee is not included. The bank decides whether to accept the account application.
Accounting from day one
A Dutch B.V. needs accounting and tax compliance from incorporation onwards, so we only incorporate together with one of our accounting packages. See the Accounting tab.
Excl. VAT. Compliance only; advice is billed at the hourly rate.
We provide accounting and compliance services. We are not a statutory auditor and do not issue audit or assurance reports.
