During the tax planning phase, a tax structure may be set up to achieve the required goal without this structure being qualified as tax evasive or tax avoidant. These structures include the structures used for many financial transactions that are entered into or implemented for reasons other than tax reasons. Examples of these transactions are the sale or purchase of a company or business unit, a business succession or participation, as well as special forms of financing and lease transactions. We have extensive experience in devising, structuring and implementing these structures. We look efficiently and pragmatically at the tax, but also at the financial, accounting, regulatory and reputational implications of a structure. For certain structured transactions, we can even request for an advance tax ruling from the Dutch tax authorities.
We also have extensive experience in devising, structuring and implementing sustainable investments that also may have a tax benefit.
