The Netherlands is an independent state in Western Europe and the largest of the four countries that make up the Kingdom of the Netherlands. According to the Dutch constitution, the country's official capital is Amsterdam, but the seat of government is The Hague. The Netherlands is a founding member of the European Union.
Maira Consult recommends using a company registered in the Netherlands for activities in logistics, international transport, IT business, startups of various kinds, as well as a holding company.
The Netherlands is one of Europe's oldest and most reputable holding jurisdictions thanks to the participation exemption regime: dividends and profits from the sale of a subsidiary's shares are exempt from taxation provided the shareholding is 5% or more.
Combined with a network of more than 100 double tax treaties, one of the widest in the world, this makes the Dutch BV a traditional vehicle for structuring international assets.
Registering a company in the Netherlands for managing assets and property is the most advantageous solution for European investors, since Dutch legislation provides a special tax regime for holding and investment activities.

Dutch law provides for the following forms of companies: a limited liability company (BV), a foundation (Stichting), a cooperative, a trust, and others.
The company name must include an ending that denotes the company's legal form, for example, BV.
The minimum authorized capital for a BV company is EUR 0.01, although the recommended capital amount is EUR 1,000.
At least one director, an individual or a legal entity, is required, with no formal residency requirements: Dutch law allows for a company to be managed entirely by non-residents. However, having a Dutch resident director (it is recommended that at least half of the board consist of Dutch residents) confirms the company's genuine tax presence in the country, which makes it easier to access double taxation treaties and open a bank account.
There are no residency requirements, and the company can be founded by at least one individual or legal entity.
A BV company is required to file financial statements annually.
A mandatory audit is triggered if two of the following three criteria are exceeded for two consecutive years:
Small companies are not required to undergo an audit.
The corporate income tax rate for a BV company depends on the amount of profit:
The standard VAT rate is 21%. A reduced rate of 9% applies to certain categories of goods and services (food, medicine, books), while international transport may be taxed at a rate of 0%.
The state register is open to the public, and it contains publicly available data about the company, its director, shareholders, and the amount of authorized capital.
The most convenient option for registering a company in the Netherlands is a private limited liability company (BV). Before registration, a request must be submitted to the Trade Register to check the availability of the chosen name. Once it is confirmed, preparation of the corporate documents begins.
At this stage, each participant is required to submit passport details and a document confirming their place of residence (for example, a utility bill). In addition, a business plan for the company must be submitted along with these documents.
At this stage, a meeting with the company's founders is held at our office or online, and the corporate documents are signed. The originals of the signed corporate documents are sent to the Netherlands by courier service. If a resident director needs to be engaged to confirm the company's tax presence, they also sign the documents for submission to the Dutch Trade Register.
In the Netherlands, there is no requirement for mandatory payment of share capital for a BV company. If necessary, the capital can be contributed after the company's registration is complete.
Registering a company in the Netherlands usually takes 10 to 15 business days from the moment all the required documents are received, depending on the Trade Register's current workload.
As soon as the company in the Netherlands is registered, the register issues the finalized corporate documents with the corresponding markings.
If necessary, the company's documents in the Netherlands are sent for legalization and obtaining an apostille.
The originals of the Dutch company's corporate documents are sent by courier service.
