We are pleased to present you the 2020 edition of the Loyens & Loeff publication Holding Regimes. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of the most relevant tax aspects and certain non-tax aspects of 9 jurisdictions (Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom).

The use of (ad hoc) special committees has seen a significant shift over recent years. While traditionally such committees have been used primarily to supervise and steer M&A and restructuring transactions, we see an increased use of special litigation committees in high-stakes (often bet-the-company) litigation involving Dutch companies. In this trend report, we share our views on the current use of special litigation committees in the Netherlands and expected developments.

On 15 April 2020, the Dutch Advisory Committee on taxation of multinationals presented its non-binding advisory report to the Dutch government. The Dutch Advisory Committee on taxation of multinationals (Committee) explored potential corporate income tax measures ensuring that multinationals with a presence in the Netherlands are sufficiently taxed while not losing sight of the Dutch investment climate.

In our guidebook – in separate sections for employer and employee – we provide the answers to these and many other questions, grouped per subject, based on our knowledge and years of experience.
