Meijburg’s practice areas have a strong international orientation due in part to our extensive international KPMG network. We have special Country Desks for both Dutch and foreign companies. For each country or continent, there are specialists with specific knowledge of the relevant market. They are in direct contact with KPMG specialists at the local level with in-depth knowledge of local markets, legal and tax systems. We also help foreign organizations wishing to expand or wanting to base themselves in the Netherlands.
