Structuring, Rulings and Cross-Border Planning

Netherlands-headquartered groups and inbound investors from North America and Asia rely on WVT to structure holding and operating entities across the Benelux and Switzerland, negotiate advance tax rulings, and manage the tax consequences of cross-border reorganisations, mergers, and demergers. Our attorneys and tax advisors work across corporate law and tax as one team — covering transfer pricing, permanent establishment risk, and hybrid instrument analysis — so that structural advice and compliance obligations are managed without gaps between disciplines.

Cross-border tax mandates for multinational corporations, PE fund structures, and group treasury entities form the core of WVT’s practice.

Compliance Management for European Group Structures

Swiss and Dutch corporate tax compliance for international groups involves more than annual filings. WVT prepares corporate income tax returns, manages correspondence with the Belastingdienst and AFC, supports transfer pricing documentation, and monitors legislative changes across all three operating jurisdictions. For groups approaching Pillar Two thresholds or subject to DAC6 disclosure obligations, our attorneys and tax advisors assess reportable arrangements, calculate top-up tax liability under the Income Inclusion Rule, and coordinate GloBE information return preparation with group finance teams.

FAQ's

How does WVT manage corporate tax across the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Switzerland simultaneously?

WVT maintains integrated advisory and compliance teams in all three jurisdictions under one firm — not a referral network. Group tax directors receive consolidated advice on cross-border structuring, filing obligations, and regulatory changes without coordinating between separate firms. This structure eliminates the misalignment that typically occurs when legal and tax advice is sourced from different providers across jurisdictions.

Which multinationals typically engage WVT for corporate tax services?

WVT’s corporate tax clients are predominantly North American and Asian multinationals using Dutch or Luxembourg holding structures, PE funds with European fund vehicles, and group treasury entities operating across Benelux and Switzerland. Engagements typically involve cross-border restructuring, advance ruling applications, or regulatory obligations such as DAC6 and Pillar Two compliance.

Does WVT handle both corporate tax advice and compliance, or only one?

WVT covers the full spectrum — from strategic structuring advice and advance pricing agreements through to annual corporate income tax returns, DAC6 disclosures, and Pillar Two information returns. Group tax directors can consolidate advisory and compliance mandates within a single team, which reduces duplicated briefing and ensures consistent positions across filings.

How does WVT support groups with Pillar Two obligations?

WVT’s Pillar Two practice covers GloBE impact assessment, top-up tax calculation under the Income Inclusion Rule and Undertaxed Profits Rule, and coordination of the GloBE information return for groups with entities in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Our attorneys and tax advisors work alongside group finance teams to integrate Pillar Two data requirements into existing reporting processes.

At what point should a multinational engage WVT for DAC6 analysis?

DAC6 analysis should begin at the point a cross-border arrangement is being designed — not after execution. Reportability under the hallmarks is determined by the structure of the arrangement itself, and late analysis can leave a group exposed to penalties. WVT’s advisors review proposed transactions against the DAC6 hallmarks for Netherlands and Luxembourg entities before implementation, and prepare mandatory disclosures where required.
