Bolana has been established in The Netherlands and acts as a trustcompany for small, medium and large sized international operating companies, worldwide. Main services are: incorporation of legal entities, management of intermediate holding, financing and licensing companies, administration and bookkeeping services, legal and tax advise.Why the Netherlands as a base for your international operations?Choosing the Netherlands as jurisdiction of your intermediate holding, financing or licensing company, is primarily for tax optimalization reasons, as a result of the large amount of international tax treaties the Netherlands has with other countries, in order to avoid double taxation. A lot of international operating companies choose for this reason for Bolana to operate and manage their companies. Summary of the benefits:First of all there is the unique concept of the "participation exemption". All benefits of a Dutch (holding) company as a result of a participation of at least 5% or more in another company are exempt(!!!) from corporate income tax. This applies to dividends received or capital gains realised.There is no withholding tax on royalty payments, licence fees or interest payments. Netherlands-source dividends are in principle subject to a 15% withholding tax. This rate can easily be reduced by an applicable double taxation treaty. Note that the Netherlands has the the largest amount of international tax treaties worldwide!Only one director is required for a Netherlands company, and the director needs to be a Netherlands resident. Bolana can provide trusted directors who operate based on your wishes and your requirements, within the restrictions of the law.Losses may be carried back for a maximum of three years. Furthermore, losses can be carried forward indefinitely.The Netherlands most certainly is an attractive base to set up &＃39;financial companies" like holding, investment, royalty, finance and real property companies. Finance activities can be conducted under a favourable regime.We as a trust company offer you the possibility to make use of these opportunities by providing domiciliation (registered address) and management services.Should you wish to discuss the above in detail, or if you are interested in our services, please do not hesitate to contact us by sending us a message.
