There are many reasons to structure your investments in the Netherlands via a local legal entity, such as the Dutch BV.
When you are planning to invest in multiple real estate projects, it is typically best to consider a separate legal entity for every estate. By doing so, risks can be reduced, and you can have the flexibility to include investors and shareholders in specific projects. Because of Tax Treaties in place, income from real estate is typically taxed in the Netherlands. Setting up a local Dutch company might be more efficient, than registering your overseas entity for taxes in the Netherlands.
Choosing a legal structure for your real estate company
The Dutch BV is the most popular Dutch legal entity used by real estate companies. The entity is easy to incorporate, has no capital deposit requirement and no restrictions on the directors and shareholders.
In case you are planning to buy multiple projects in the Netherlands, or in Europe for that matter, it might be advisable to establish a Dutch holding company that will manage your European real estate activities. It can collect dividends tax efficiently, reinvest in new projects, or it can pay out dividends to many countries with little to no withholding taxes.
