Taxand Netherlands is VMW Taxand. Founded in 1991, we are the third largest law firm-based tax practice in the Netherlands and have an office in Amsterdam. To offer our clients services of the highest standard for all tax and legal matters, we attach great value to efficient collaboration between our tax and civil law practice groups, meaning our tax lawyers, attorneys at law and civil-law notaries work closely together.

Our team of seasoned tax professionals is focused on providing practical solutions based on a strong technical foundation, as well as being dedicated to offering clients a choice in tax advisors free from audit-based conflicts of interest.

Our tax department specialises in international taxation, all aspects of corporate tax, individual tax, value added tax and customs, tax litigation, tax accounting, advance tax rulings, tax audits and tax compliance.

We also advise our corporate clients on mergers, spin-offs, acquisitions (including due diligence), pre- and post-acquisition restructuring, reorganisations, (distressed) debt restructurings, joint ventures, structured finance, private equity, domestic and cross-border tax-planning and employee incentives.

Our team is familiar with the tax issues facing our corporate clients across a wide range of industry sectors, including energy, pharmaceutical, media and entertainment, insurance, maritime, pension funds, private equity, finance, manufacturing, transport, hospitality and leisure, and property and construction.

Virtually all of the members of our tax department have University degrees in tax law and civil law enabling them to collaborate closely with our firm's private law departments to deliver complete and workable solutions. Taxanders share, and are committed to, a common approach for clients.
