Taxes Netherlands-Spain
For Dutch people, doing business in Spain contains many and unexpected challenges. Not only because of the well-known language and cultural differences, but also because Spanish legislation often differs greatly from Dutch legislation. This is especially true for Spanish taxes, with many complex rules that also change frequently. Only a specialist can find a way out of this maze. Practice shows that tax-legal problems with common ground in both the Netherlands and Spain are by far best solved or - preferably - prevented by an adviser with experience in both countries.
Giovanni Armino, Dutch tax expert since 1986 and working in Spain, has specialised in international advice for over 30 years.
