BACK TO NETHERLANDS INFORMATION: LOW-TAX AND INCENTIVE REGIMES


The Netherlands Antilles and Aruba have a special role to play in making Holland an attractive jurisdiction in which to base international holding and trading operations. Dividends paid by a Dutch corporation to a Netherlands Antilles or Aruban company are subject to reduced withholding tax rates. This is a very unusual arrangement since Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are offshore jurisdictions which don't normally have double tax treaties with high-tax countries.

In 2010, the standard Dutch withholding tax rate on dividends of 15% can be reduced to a rate of 5% on dividends remitted to a Netherlands Antilles company provided that the Netherlands Antilles company satisfies minimum share holding criteria.

For further information on the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba see the relevant jurisdiction sections.
