Compensation & Benefits in the Netherlands

The drafting and implementation of employment terms invariably involves dealing with a great number of tax issues. Tax laws and regulations — national and international — are often subject to radical changes. Baker & McKenzie’s Compensation & Benefits Practice Group provides completely independent advice from both a legal and tax perspective. This includes the optimization of remuneration packages from a tax and social security angle, handling all aspects of individual and collective employment and industrial relations law, self-employment status, and pensions, with a particular focus on the ever more pervasive applications of EU law. With our forward-thinking approach to current compensation and benefits issues, we provide relevant, integrated, and tailor-made advice to best address your needs.

The Practice Group consists of lawyers and tax advisors and covers both Dutch and international tax law, securities law, corporate law, employment law, and laws on exchange control and data privacy. Our specialists work closely together to design those tax and legal structures that will allow you optimum profitability. Needless to say, we work closely with the other tax practice groups and with Baker & McKenzie’s Employment Law Practice Group.
