What do you need to know?
Employment and tax law in Germany differs significantly from Dutch legislation. For instance, while many Dutch companies operate with a holding structure, this is far less common in Germany. If you're a Dutch business owner opening a branch in Germany, you’re likely to encounter a wide range of questions:
- Which German legal structure is most suitable for my business?
- What should I lay down in the articles of association?
- What are the responsibilities of the managing director?
- What are the requirements for employment contracts in Germany?
- Can I manage the records of a GmbH from the Netherlands?
- What are the tax implications for my employees?
- Which German VAT rules apply to my business?
Despite the differences, more and more clients of de Jong & Laan are expanding into Germany, especially in sectors such as construction, transport, trade, and automotive. Our international specialists are here to help you realise your ambitions across the border.
