The Netherlands is regularly used for establishing holding and finance structures. A number of multinational companies have also chosen the Netherlands as the headquarters of their European, Middle Eastern and African operations, including Cisco, Dell and IBM. This is due to:

  • an extensive network of tax treaties
  • tax efficiency, including the reduction and/or non-existence of dividend withholding taxes for Dutch intermediate holding companies
  • a vast network of bilateral investment treaties
  • the protection of investments and assets
  • an excellent international business infrastructure
