Tax advice
“We can't make it more fun, we can make it easier.” That's what the tax authorities have been saying for years. But because tax legislation is constantly changing, things are certainly not getting any easier. However, our tax advisors follow tax legislation closely and investigate where your company can get a tax advantage. By making this transparent and understandable, you always know where you stand and you can almost always save considerably on taxes.

In addition to a recurring obligation, tax reporting is primarily an opportunity to take advantage of potential tax benefits for your company. Our tax specialists are happy to help you get the most out of your tax situation, including the following returns: income tax, corporate tax, sales tax, payroll taxes, dividend tax and gift and inheritance tax.
Help with VAT returns
Our VAT specialists will help you with all your VAT return issues. Whether you file a return every month, quarterly or annually or it concerns the transfer of land or real estate, for example, their knowledge in the field of VAT rates, supplementary returns or the settlement of VAT ensures that your VAT return is always in order.
Optimizing income tax
The income tax return is the time to optimize your tax position. Due to changing laws and regulations, reporting has not become easier. Based on our expertise, we provide appropriate advice about your tax situation. The tax specialists at Smit & de Wolf can support you with various parts of the income tax return, also taking into account other tax issues, and, if possible, save hundreds of euros in tax.
Corporate tax: preventing unnecessary costs
Every B.V. is obliged to file an annual corporate tax return and pay tax on the profits made. However, there are many situations here in which our tax specialists can proactively assist your B.V. and prevent unnecessary costs. For example, we help you avoid paying an additional 8% tax interest on the tax due, or in the event of a one-off high loss, we help you offset this against the previous year's profit, giving you a corporate tax refund. In addition, our specialists are also available for foundations or associations that are subject to corporate tax.
Good financial planning helps you make choices about your financial situation in the short and long term. With financial planning from Smit & de Wolf, you get clear advice on potentially drastic financial decisions, in whatever phase of your life. We take your needs into account and answer questions about events such as selling your company, early retirement or disability. This gives you the certainty of a good financial basis, even before you are actually faced with the choice. So nice. If things are going well, it makes sense to look at estate planning. Based on a clear overview of your financial situation, we look at how you can use the favorable business results to optimize your personal financial situation. For example, can you use part of the profits for a good old age, donation or life insurance? We help you identify what is possible, so that you and your loved ones have as much financial security as possible at all times. Smit & de Wolf knows better than anyone that major events such as marriage or death are closely linked to your financial situation. Because you automatically marry in community property under current law, it is important to take into account the business consequences of the marriage when (possibly) drafting the prenuptial agreement. In addition, your will is important when it comes to business succession in the event of death.
LEGAL FORMS
Which legal form suits your company? When you start your own business, you must choose a legal form. But which legal structure best suits your situation? Factors such as your initial situation, costs, and the tax and legal consequences play an important role in this. So get good advice. In the Netherlands, we have various legal forms. The most famous ones are:
Sole proprietorship
Most entrepreneurs start with a one-man business. Here, you and your company are seen as one by law. This means that you are privately liable, including for any debts or losses. You pay income tax on profits, but you can make use of tax benefits such as self-employment deduction, starter deduction and accelerated depreciation. The costs are relatively low.
Company under firm (vof)
The vof looks like a one-man business, but with multiple owners. If you work with someone, this is a commonly chosen legal form. Note: you are also liable for your partner's debts. Therefore, always have a memorandum of association drawn up. Here you lay down agreements about input, powers, tasks and profit distribution. This prevents hassles in the event of a business dispute.
Private company (bv)
With a private company (bv), you are not privately liable for the company's debts. The shareholders are the owners; the director manages the company.
Smit & de Wolf's advisors are happy to think along with you about the right legal form.
