Operating your company

Setting up a BV is free of capital tax. However, after a BV has been created:

- When hiring an employee, you need to pay wage withholding tax and file the statements on a monthly basis;

- If your company is a VAT entrepreneur, you need to file VAT returns and meet compliance.

Typically, on a quarterly basis;

- Per tax book year, you need to file and prepare a Dutch corporate income tax return;

- You need to prepare the annual accounts of your Dutch BV, in line with Dutch accounting standards;

- Moreover, those annual accounts need to be approved by a shareholders’ meeting and filed at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce;

- If you distribute dividends, you need to file a dividend withholding tax return. Depending on the type of shareholder and percentage of shareholding, you may also need to file Dutch personal income tax for the recipient of the dividend.
