Registration of business in the Netherlands

As soon as you know when your company plans to start business in the Netherlands, you should notify the Dutch tax authorities (Belastingdienst). When starting your activities in the Netherlands as a sole trader, a partnership, a limited partnership or a partnership under common firm, your company can be registered with both the Dutch tax authorities and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce at the same time. When starting your activities in the Netherlands under another legal form (such as a limited liability company, a BV), you will still have to notify the Dutch tax authorities and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce separately.

The relevant form to be completed and filed with the Dutch tax authorities; Opgaaf gegevens startende onderneming (Statement of information for starting up a business) is available on the website from the Dutch tax authorities.

The Dutch tax year runs from 1 January through 31 December. It is recommendable to register to your business with the Dutch tax authorities at an early stage, as new companies will often receive money back by filing their first VAT return (when investments have been made in the business). Please note that start-up businesses are regularly visited by a Dutch tax inspector in order to verify whether the business administration meets the required standards. You can also contact the Dutch tax inspector yourself to schedule an acquaintance visit

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
