Today’s global marketplace offers vast opportunities for growth, but companies with operations spanning multiple borders often encounter compliance demands and tax rules which are complex and a potential risk to the company. 

A&M’s tax practice in the Netherlands provides assistance with comprehensive tax advice including tax due diligence, tax structuring and advice on managing tax risks and opportunities. 

Together with our colleagues who perform financial and operational due diligence, we provide fully integrated tax and financial advice for M&A transactions. Our expansive international resources help to ensure clients are operating with an optimal tax structure, no matter the industry or locale.

We customize our approach to the client’s unique business model and needs to determine the best solution as companies conduct their work globally. We remain flexible to ensure we work in cooperation with other workstream initiatives and accommodate their procedures.  Thanks to our independent status, we can act quickly to deliver the answer you need and avoid audit-based conflicts.

How Does Dutch Tax Service Affect Competitiveness? 

Undermanaged compliance and tax planning can stifle liquidity and expose companies to risk. Cross-border companies can remain competitive in an increasingly complex global economy by maintaining efficient tax structures, managing the compliance burden and implementing pre- and post-merger tax planning.

A&M’s Dutch Tax services can help companies improve compliance, seize opportunities and mitigate risks by helping them create tax efficiencies that extend across multiple jurisdictions and conduct thorough tax due diligence on M&A activity. 
 

How A&M Can Help 

As part of our comprehensive cross-border tax strategy process, we can assist with an overall plan to meet your global tax obligations efficiently and effectuate value-add tax strategies. Some of our Dutch Tax services include:

International M&A 

Companies anticipating M&A activity need to know how target acquisitions or divestitures can alter tax attributes, especially when acquisitions have extensive global operations that require tax planning to reduce tax liabilities.

Companies need to understand and manage the various tax, regulatory and compliance issues prior to and after the transaction. A&M provides due diligence and post-merger integration tax planning to appropriately assess the tax challenges companies may face. 

Our M&A tax specialists provide independent, proactive advice throughout the lifecycle of your investments.

Restructuring Debt Tax Services 

Businesses undergoing restructuring can also benefit from A&M’s ability to mitigate tax liabilities throughout the process and as the company emerges from reorganization of debt. This includes tax assistance in restructurings that involve a court sanctioning private composition to avoid bankruptcy (WHOA, also known as the Dutch scheme of arrangement).

General Tax Services 

Tax compliance obligations have grown more complex as new tax laws are enacted. Reporting on international activities can be a sizable part of a company’s tax obligations. A&M can help companies stay ahead of the complexity of compliance and also build tax compliant tax structures for clients. 

A&M’s network of global tax professionals provides up-to-date, accurate advice in the face of constantly changing regulations, whether that’s for transactions, bankruptcy events or for general tax consultation and ongoing tax compliance work.

What Are the Benefits of A&M’s Dutch Tax Services? 

A&M seeks to help clients reduce their tax burden and ease the pain of compliance by assisting with pre- and post-transactions and as a fully integrated tax and finance solution for clients. Benefits include:

• Minimize tax liabilities: During M&A or other transactions, we identify ways to reduce tax obligations through structural efficiencies. Our goal is for the client to complete the deal without tax issues becoming a distraction.
