You have a valid decision.

EORI application

EORI application

If you have a Dutch BV company involved in importing and exporting goods, and you will be dealing with custom authorities in any EU country, you will most likely need an EORI number. You will receive such a number by applying to the customs authorities in the relevant EU country. Check the validity of an EORI number here. It is relatively simple to apply for an EORI number once you company has been set up. You can use this form of the Dutch Tax and Custom authorities to get started.

Article 23 permit / VAT representative

Price: on request

In certain cases an article 23 permit is required, usually when you are importing goods. This reverse-charge mechanism on import means that you are not required to pay the VAT immediately at the import, but that VAT can then be paid when you file your VAT return. In order to do this, you will need an Article 23 permit. As foreign entrepreneur, you are not able to apply for an Article 23 permit yourself. However you can engage a Dutch tax representative for this purpose. This representative can apply for a permit for you.

Holding structure documents

Make sure your holding structure is completely legally watertight with our BV holding structure agreements.

Management contract - Price: €200

In a holding structure, the holding company will usually perform 'management' tasks in the operating company. In practice this means that the holding will send invoices for this work to the operating company. This relationship is laid down in a so-called management agreement. A manager does not receive a salary, but a management fee. The company does not have to withhold wage taxes from the management fee.
It’s possible to include other provisions as well.

Employment contract - Price: €200

In case you or anyone else will be employed by one of the Dutch entities, you should have a Dutch employment contract. As an employer, you must withhold taxes from the salary of your staff. In the contract you determine the gross salary of the employee, vacation time and sick days.

Current account agreement - Price: €100

Even if you borrow money from your own company, or if your operating company borrows money from your holding, it is important to record this well. For example when the company needs a bridge loan and you provide this from your personal account. But also when you have a personal bill paid by the BV. You do this with a current account agreement. The Tax Authorities only accept this if the agreements remain 'business-like', meaning that your company could also give this loan to someone else on these terms.

Shareholders' agreement

Price: €300

Shareholders' agreement

If you are working with multiple shareholders, we strongly recommend to put the agreements between the shareholders in a legal agreement. In this contract you lay down the agreements about the decision-making and protection of shareholders. You can also determine which decisions first require shareholders’ approval.The agreements from a shareholders' agreement are binding on the shareholders and supplement the statutes of your BV. This agreement does not apply to BV companies with one shareholder.

Employment contract

GDPR Compliance

GDPR Compliance package

Price: €200-700

Since 2018, the "General Data Protection Regulation" (GDPR) applies throughout the European Union. This new privacy law contains rules in the field of privacy protection. Customers and consumers get more rights; companies more obligations. If you do not comply with this, you risk hefty fines. These can amount to 4% of your annual turnover. Make your company GDPR-proof with our GDPR documents. Which documents you should have depend on your situation. If you are interested in GDPR Compliance for your Dutch business, please follow these steps:

*Compliance with Wtt. Legalee can assist in finding a solution for tax and office for their client through third parties. However, Legalee does not provide this service themselves and therefore is not part of the service of incorporation of a company in the Netherlands. These services are optional services carried out by a third party provider. Providing such services in-house would require a license according to the Wtt (Wet toezicht trustkantoren). Legalee does not possess such license since company formation is the core service of Legalee.
