China Services
China Services
Forward Fiscalisten has a very solid and broad network in China. With this business network we guide (both) Dutch and Chinese companies in tax-, legal- and financial fields. In China we work together with Yingke Law Firm, one of the largest law firms in China. This way we can guide you both in tax and in law in China. Vice versa, we assist Chinese companies, major shareholders and high net worth individuals & families with their tax questions in Europe. With our services we form the Tax-gateway to Europe. Just as our customers in the Netherlands and Europe are used to short communication lines, this also applies to our China Services. Please contact us if you have any questions.
International business opportunities
We can imagine that connecting businessrelations in China can be quite a challenge. For example, where to start if you want to enter into a joint venture with a Chinese partner or build a factory in China? The tax- and legal assistance can also raise many questions. You want reliable advice. At Forward Fiscalisten we help you professionally and adequately with the right contacts. We provide opportunities for Dutch companies to do business in China, but also for Chinese companies that want to establish themselves in The Netherlands and look for professional tax-advice.
Cultural differences and similarities
Doing business with Chinese companies also means learning to understand the Chinese culture. It’s very useful if you are guided in this and you can leave tax- and legal affairs to our reliable tax specialists and business partners in China. Do you want to know how far our services go in China? Please make an appointment with one of our specialists for a meeting at one of our offices in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Tilburg or The Hague.

Tax Compliance
Tax Compliance
At Forward Fiscalisten we take care of your interests every day. We focus on tax matters and are therefore independent of accountant organizations. In this way we are able to provide the most optimal tax advice without being influenced. We handle your company tax (VPB) and income tax (IB) declarations in a professional manner and maintain close contact with our considerations and advice. Your tax compliance is our concern. This allows you to focus on your core business and make the difference.

Tax Compliance in different types and sizes
Not only your VPB or IB declaration deserves attention when it comes to compliance. It is also wise to have your tax position professionally determined, for example for your commercial annual financial statements. Depending on company size and under the influence of new laws and regulations, you may have to think about tax process management. We support the management of tax processes (in the entire supply chain) by organizing a Tax Control Framework for you. With this framework, we show the tax consequences and ensure that you are in control.
VAT and transfer pricing are also covered by tax compliance issues, which we can use to help you as specialists, based on solid experience.

Formal tax law
Formal tax law
The tax. You can not possibly get around it. Private person, a company, employed by an organization or retired. We all have to pay taxes. We often understand this and there is clarity about how and why. Sometimes, however, a collision arises with the tax authorities if a dispute arises or you feel that unjust tax is being levied. Then it is nice that you can rely on an experienced tax specialist, who can assist you and increase your chances of being equal or ‘right’. This is a separate field, where Forward Fiscalisten can support you professionally.

A modern customer-oriented approach
Forward Fiscalists have a modern customer-oriented approach. We do not work in islands, but know each other’s clients by name. We know what is going on in the market, what you need and how we can guide and solve a possible dispute with the tax authorities in a professional manner. In a discreet way we advise and assist you.

The Forward Real Estate team consists of specialists who have built up decades of experience. Prior to a real estate transaction, we map the tax consequences and advise you on how the greatest benefit is achieved and (possible) risks are excluded.

Because we use our tax glasses every day and maintain direct lines with lawyers within Team Forward Real Estate, you are assured of the best possible support.

Real estate tax themes
Property taxation has a lot of themes. A number always come back to our practice every week. For example, should you classify your property as an investment or for your own use? And amortization of real estate is or is not sensible in specific situations. Do you rent (with) or without VAT? Transfer tax and/or sales tax on the delivery of real estate also have various question marks. Have you also realized that the annual WOZ valuation has an impact on the tax scope to depreciate? It might be a good idea to exchange ideas with our Real Estate specialists. There are enough reasons to get you advised by an experienced tax lawyer.

Family businesses
Family businesses
Many family businesses are already familiar with the personal approach of Forward Fiscalisten. Where emotion and taxation touch each other on the intersection, our specialists are your confidential adviser. From transfer to start and from start to transfer, we are the tax sparring partner, who advises on the future and continuity of your company. In this way we support multiple generations in their tax- and financial objectives and related issues. Because of this guidance, a later succession can proceed silently.

Business succession
Transferring your business often does not happen overnight. Besides the business side, we also pay attention to the human side. Finally, it often concerns an important moment in your life. A transfer can arise from different motivations (planned or unplanned) and who is involved is also important. Is this, for example, a family-member or a successor from outside the company? Perhaps a merger or division is at issue? Your choices can change during the process.
Curious how we can help you in different situations? Call us for an appointment. You’ll immediately get an idea of our working method and personal approach.

Social security & Cross-border Workers
Social Security
Payroll tax and social security are complex subjects, strongly subject to change. The terms of the employment package that you offer to your employees must clearly state what you can expect when it comes to tax and social insurance. This can raise quite a few question marks. Just think of the correct processing of rewards & fees. But also special schemes for pension or savings. The tax authorities regularly check whether your affairs are in order and whether legal obligations are being met. So let yourself guide by our specialized tax consultants.

Cross-border living and working
Globalization and mobility are key words in contemporary society. Those who regularly live and work in other countries notice that regulations rarely cross the borders. We have decades of experience with the rules surrounding cross-border living and working. With this experience we can advise you professional, for example when it comes to taxation or social security.
Special rules
Special rules apply to artists and professional athletes. Consider, for example, musicians, actors and athletes who can regularly be found on the international stage. But there are also special rules in the Netherlands, for which you can contact us. Whether you work as a self-employed person or via a private limited company, we can help you professionally in the jumble of rules.

Tax Control Framework
Tax Control Framework (TCF)
Transparency and the control of taxation within your company today have a completely different meaning than before. Managing tax processes throughout the entire business-chain is becoming increasingly important to manage tax consequences and risks. With a tax control framework, we enable you to implement a correct and solid tax strategy. You will gain insight in your tax position, opportunities and risks, in line with current regulations.

Set up TCF in phases
With a set of processes and internal control measures we ultimately provide a framework with which gives you tax control. The arrangement of this is done in phases. From awareness to implementation, and then through transparent monitoring to arrive at an ‘in-control’ statement. In the first phase, tax objectives and the scope are determined with you (strategy). On this basis, different tax types are set up separately in a process-based manner. Monitoring of the regulated processes is (from then on) a continuous process. Finally, you can consider obtaining a ‘tax process audit’ to prove your tax transparency.
