Mergers & Acquisitions Netherlands
As the Netherlands does not levy any withholding tax on outbound dividends it makes the country the perfect place for to set up business operations.
In recent years the volume of Mergers and acquisition transactions has increased, with businesses using this process as a method of growth into wider sectors and locations.
In the Netherlands mergers and acquisitions are often carried out using a Dutch holding company, predominantly because Dutch holding companies are considered tax efficient, they also provide the added benefit of being inside the EU, which means benefitting from the Dutch participation exemption provisions in the Dutch Income Tax Act as well as the wide network of tax treaties (more than 70 currently in force) and the EU directives.
