Where I work
Curaçao, Bonaire and the European Netherlands share a legal tradition but not a tax code. Advice that only covers one side of that corridor tends to unravel on the other.
For questions on legal form, I also advise on Aruba and Sint Maarten.
Autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands
A civil-law jurisdiction with its own profit tax, an export facility regime, private foundations (SPF) and trusts. I advise on incorporation, substance, rulings with the Inspectorate of Taxes, and the interaction with the Tax Arrangement for the Kingdom (BRK/BRNC).
Special municipality of the Netherlands (BES islands)
Bonaire runs a distinct fiscal system — no profit tax in the classical sense, but a real estate tax, opbrengstbelasting and establishment requirements. Getting the substance and establishment test right is where most planning succeeds or fails.
European Union member state
The EU anchor of most of my structures: treaty network, participation exemption, and an increasingly demanding anti-abuse landscape. I coordinate Dutch positions so they hold together with the Caribbean side of the same structure.
