Client Profile

An American expat living in the Netherlands, running a successful consultancy business with clients in both the US and the Netherlands. He wanted to invest in Dutch private limited companies (BV's) but was unsure whether a Dutch holding company would trigger negative tax consequences under U.S. CFC (Controlled Foreign Corporation) rules.

The Challenge

This client faced a complex international tax situation:

Income from multiple countries
Risk of double taxation (US and NL)
Lack of clarity on how to structure future investments
Conflicting advice from various advisors left him overwhelmed and confused.

Our Approach

I conducted a comprehensive tax scan and provided:

A clear explanation of CFC regulations for U.S. taxpayers
A holding structure proposal making use of the Dutch participation exemption
Alignment between Dutch and U.S. tax consequences
A structured annual calendar and automated documentation flow for compliance.

The Result

A Dutch holding company was set up, ready for international investments
The client avoids double taxation
Annual savings of over €10,000 on compliance and unnecessary tax burdens
He now works with one advisor who simplifies complex matters and provides proactive guidance

Client Quote

“Finally, an advisor who doesn’t just know the rules, but actually thinks along with me.”
