VAT for foundations and associations
The tax position of foundations and associations is often unclear. It’s not unusual for such organisations to encounter big surprises when the Dutch Tax & Customs Administration (TCA: Belastingdienst) conducts an audit. This can usually be avoided by means of good structuring and the right agreements.
Some aspects that are often important for foundations and associations are:
- Reciprocal offset of costs;
- Using the right VAT rate;
- Applying VAT exemptions.
Another frequently relevant point is that realising surpluses (incidental or otherwise) can result in the levy of corporate income tax.
We have a great deal of experience with tax aspects that are important for foundations and associations, and can therefore expertly analyse and optimise the tax position of these organisations.
