EU Presence

Run your own EU company from your UK headquarters

This way you can legally ‘remain’ in the EU, even after Brexit. And the best is everything can be done for you:

From registering to running your company, even down to completing your accountancy and annual tax return.

What is an EU Presence?

An EU Presence (EU legal entity set-up + provision of a place of business) allows you to trade as an EU company. We will register a Dutch BV (which is the equivalent to a UK Ltd) for you and provide your Dutch address for official correspondence, letterheads, business cards etc.

There will hardly be any changes to your daily routine. Why? Because all processes are either automated or will be handled to your instructions by our in-house service team. Naturally, you will stay 100% in control 24/7 via our real-time online reporting system.

What are the trade benefits?

• Trade legally in the EU from the UK – or anywhere in the world
• Brexit proof: You can bypass EU trade barriers to the 27 EU countries or to the 80 EU trading partner nations. In other words, no payment of tariffs and no delays at customs within the EU, and the best available trade deals with the 80 wealthiest nations in the world.
• Everything done for you: You do not have to deal with any accountancy, administration, any legal or tax matters, as this can be handled by us

What are the tax benefits?

• Low tax rate: The Netherlands has one of the lowest corporation tax rates in the EU.
• VAT Deferment: The Netherlands are one of the few EU countries that offer VAT deferment, ie, you pay VAT on imports much later or when goods are sold, which helps enormously with cash-flow.
• Tax free in the UK: Your taxed income from your Dutch company can be transferred to the UK tax- free, thanks to the double-taxation treaty between both countries.

How does it work?

1. Once we have all necessary documents, we will register your company within a matter of weeks.
2. Your Dutch accountant (who is a chartered accountant working in-house) will then register your new company with the Dutch inland revenue and VAT authorities.
3. He will also complete your monthly accountancy from the online sales data and file the VAT and tax returns.
