What Dutch companies need to know about tax and the legal situation in Germany
Among many international trading relationships, Germany is by far the Netherlands’ most important trading partner. Inland shipping and the Schengen Agreement have over time brought the countries bordering the Netherlands ever closer together. Nevertheless, Dutch companies doing business in Germany can still expect traps in tax and legal matters.
Key points in brief
- The fundamentals of the tax and legal systems in Germany and the Netherlands are extremely different.
- In Germany, subsidies and conditions are available to companies that can assist in founding or carrying out transactions with Dutch companies. We have all the up-to-date information and will assist you in making all the applications.
- Compliance, environmental and data protection policies have to be observed. With us you can be legally watertight.
- Particular rules apply in Germany to employee contracts, working hours, health and safety, and working conditions.
Connectedness with cultural differences
As close as the two EU countries are to one another and as much as they are bound together by common regulations – there are basic differences in the tax and legal systems between the two countries. That is why it is still necessary to know and abide by the different legal and cultural conditions in the two countries so that unexpected surprises don’t impinge on doing business successfully. That’s what we will assist you with.
