Our international services
More and more entrepreneurs are finding their way to the international market. It has become easier to do business internationally, both within the European Union and beyond its borders. Of course, this offers a great potential for growth, but it is important to carefully consider the legal and tax implications. Whether you are doing business abroad yourself, or have to deal with international clients, partners or shareholders, you are expected to make the right choices as an entrepreneur. Local and international developments take place at a rapid pace. A good advisor with an international perspective is essential.
International expertise
International entrepreneurs are subject to differing laws, regulations and obligations in each of the countries in which their business operates. If you are not familiar with these laws and obligations, it is often difficult to organise your business affairs properly.
Our advisors ensure you are well-informed regarding current legislation, as well as future expectations and obligations. Is your current business model and structure optimal and future-proof? Are you compliant with current (and prepared for future) Dutch and international rules in the areas of for example customs, taxes, transfer pricing and ESG? Our experts support you in addressing these complicated matters, so you can focus on your core business.
Global Mobility and international employership
Personnel is becoming increasingly mobile. Employees are recruited from abroad or seconded (temporarily or otherwise) to a foreign country. Some employees work from their home in another country, which means that social security and payroll administration require special attention. Seconding a member of your staff to a foreign country may lead to points of attention in the areas of international labour law, wage taxes, remuneration and social security. Baker Tilly provides support and a wide range of services in the area of Global Mobility. If required, we can work closely with local experts within the Baker Tilly International network.
This applies to everything from drafting documents such as labour agreements and intra-group secondment agreements, to salary calculations, salary splits and tax equalisation (TEQ). Our Employment Advisory experts would be happy to assist you with regard to for example HR, labour law, domestic and international tax law and permits.
International trade and e-commerce
International trade and e-commerce are booming. Do you know what rules you need to take into account? It is important that you are aware of various (internationals) obligations and regulations. Should you charge VAT? Are there any beneficial schemes available? How do ESG rules affect your chain? And are you obligated to register for VAT abroad, or not? Our specialists can guide you through this maze of international rules, exceptions, obligations and opportunities.
Important points of attention include:
(European) VAT, (e-)invoicing requirements and reporting obligations
e-commerce developments
warehouses, fixed establishments and local branches
import/export permits and compliance
supply chain optimisation and transfer pricing
Brexit and other international current affairs
