The above information is based on the wording of the treaty articles dealing with the withholding tax on dividends of the tax treaties between The Netherlands and countries with whom The Netherlands concluded tax treaties.

Please note that the ultimate withholding tax rate may differ from the treaty rate, for instance as consequence of domestic anti-abuse legislation, provisions of the treaty protocol, etc. Before you use this information we therefore strongly recommend that you consult us to determine the accurate withholding tax rate for your specific situation.
