The last few years tax authorities, corporate management, but also investors and customers, are increasingly demanding more tax transparency and tax risk management. Now more than ever, companies need to be able to demonstrate that they are continuously ‘in control’ of tax risks.
The COVID-19 virus is spreading in the Netherlands. We attach great importance to the health and well-being of our colleagues and their families, customers and business associates. Preventing infection with the COVID-19 virus therefore has our top priority. A specialist team within Meijburg is therefore following the situation and anticipating possible future scenarios. We are following the guidelines of trusted sources, such as the WHO and the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and Environmental Protection (Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu; RIVM). Based on this, Meijburg has taken various measures to prevent possible infection with the COVID-19 virus.
The current tax rules are still largely based on the ‘old’ economy in which physical presence in a country was often required for companies to do business locally. With the advent of internet, smartphones and other technological developments, this has completely changed. It is clear that the tax rules need to be adapted to bring them into line with current economic realities.
