International Business Support

Whether you are starting a new business or setting up a European base for an existing one, the Netherlands is among the most popular places to do it. But getting the best from your investment means navigating a wide range of commercial, regulatory and compliance issues.

This is where KPMG International Business Support comes in. Our multi-disciplinary specialists have helped numerous companies start and grow their businesses in the Netherlands.

We have an in-depth knowledge of Dutch corporate compliance and reporting requirements, especially for foreign companies investing in the Netherlands. At the same time, we are experts not only in the local market, but also in supporting businesses that want to use the Netherlands as a springboard for pan-European expansion.

KPMG International Business Support has more than 30 years of practical experience. We therefore know how to structure our services in a way that actively supports, and anticipates, your commercial ambitions. We take pride in the trusted relationships we have developed with clients of all kinds, and in our long track record of helping them grow by reducing the burdens of doing business.

Getting started

What is the best legal entity for setting up your business in the Netherlands? How do you make it happen, and what are the regulations your company needs to abide by? KPMG International Business Support sorts it all out for you.

Accounting and reporting

Your business needs a smooth accounting and bookkeeping operation. We can either help you set it up, or you can appoint KPMG to handle the entire function on your behalf. You can also engage us for management reporting, providing insight into your business’s financial performance.

Compliance

Dealing with Dutch reporting and other statutory compliance requirements, such as compiling your financial statements, can be time-consuming when you are new to them. We guide you through the rules, or take the burden completely off your shoulders.

Tax

There is no need to get bogged down in complex tax legislation. Our specialists will make sure your business meets its tax reporting obligations and filing deadlines, as well as keeping you up to date with new tax requirements and planning opportunities.

Audit Support

Your company may not need an audit but, if it does, you can rely on us to help make the annual auditing process as smooth as possible. This includes assisting you in preparing and presenting the financial information requested by your auditor.

Payroll and expats

We assist companies in every aspect of their payroll process, from handling the initial set-up and annual reporting requirements, to supporting the payment of salaries and social security contributions. We also have professionals who advise on expatriate tax issues.
