AFAIK incorporating in Netherlands is very cheap. You need 1 euro starting capital and the notary fee, which is a few hundred euros. Are you referring to the initial incorporation costs or the ongoing tax burden?
- martinald 10y agoA few hundred euros is a lot more than the UK. You can get the whole thing done in the UK for like £15.
- hasperdi 10y agoYes, but you do get tax breaks if you have a small company, such as Mkb-winstvrijstelling, which is 14% of the profit. There is nothing similar in the UK AFAIK.
- martinald 10y agoIs that income tax or corporate tax? The UK has incredibly generous tax breaks for new companies. SEIS must be the most generous in the world, which for investments of up to £150k allows you to write 50% of the investment off directly against your tax bill and a further 25% if it fails. So in reality, you get a 75% reduction in exposure. Combine this with R&D tax credits and it is a very tax efficient place to run a small tech startup.
- hasperdi 10y agoThat is income / corporate depending on your company legal form. There is a similar tax break for startup as well, it is called startersaftrek. There are R&D credit / subsidies as well.
