Tax Rulings

You require 100% certainty in advance on your fiscal position ? You have a dispute with the tax authorities about standpoints taken in your tax return ? A tax audit seems to result in a tax claim and what to do next ?

In the Netherlands it is possible to obtain certainty in advance on taxation matters (tax rulings). This may relate to advance certainty on your fiscal position in an anticipated transaction or structure or to a compromise on specific tax issues resulting from processing a tax return or a tax audit. We have broad experience in negotiating with the tax authorities.

In many discussions with the tax authorities it appears that the tax inspector has not interpreted relevant facts and circumstances correctly. Per definition the tax inspector has a lack of information and is dependent on the information provided by you or your tax advisor. Discussions with the tax inspector often occur as a result of a wrong understanding of facts and circumstances. Such discussions can easily get out of control and result in tax assessments which you then have to fight in court. We can represent you in discussions with the tax authorities in a professional and efficient way.
