Connect with Europe and the world

The Netherlands is a strategic choice geographically. We are a gateway to Europe; ideally situated to provide fast access to your partners, suppliers and customers. 95% of Europe’s most lucrative markets are just a 24-hour drive away from Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Major economies such as Germany, France and the U.K. are within a few hours reach.

Key to the Netherlands’ infrastructure are leading transport hubs including the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port, and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, both offering vast international connections. Add to that our extensive rail and waterway network, and companies have excellent logistics and distribution capabilities. Beyond physical infrastructure, the Netherlands business environment is also anchored by a robust digital infrastructure. For companies that expand in the Netherlands, the Dutch digital infrastructure paves the way to opportunity, collaboration and success.

VAT Deferment in the Netherlands

In order to facilitate trade and bring down the administrative and financial burden for Dutch companies, the Dutch government made it possible for Dutch companies to make use of the so called ‘postponed accounting’ or VAT deferment. Under this system, VAT does not have to be paid at the moment of importation; instead, it can be postponed to the periodical VAT return. On this periodical return, the postponed import VAT is declared, but at the same time can also be deducted. This results in considerable cash flow and interest-earning benefits for companies importing into the Netherlands.

The Netherlands

Over the last decades the Netherlands has been able to attract a large number of international companies setting up warehousing and distribution activities in the Netherlands. Besides the more obvious reasons like geographic location close to the main European markets, availability of two main ports (Port of Rotterdam and Schiphol Amsterdam Airport), excellent logistics infrastructure and connectivity to the rest of Europe by road, rail and inland waterways there is one important factor that also played a significant role that might be a bit less known. This is the fact that the Dutch customs authorities are considered to be the most efficient and pro-business in the world. This makes it possible for companies to set up a tax
efficient supply chain. Specifically the legislation regarding VAT deferment and fiscal representation are considered to be highly attractive in the Netherlands.

Logistics

The transportation of goods around the globe increases in volume and distance every single day. Holland plays a key role in the global market because of its well-structured logistics.

The centre for world trade
Logistics concerns the knowledge and expertise that is necessary for the efficient planning, execution, and flow of goods- and information-streams. For many centuries, the Netherlands has been a centre for world trade. With two significant European cargo mainports, Schiphol airport and Port of Rotterdam, less that one hour distant from each other, the Netherlands is a key logistics hub for the through-transportation of goods to the European hinterland, making it an attractive location for foreign companies.

Global trade is expanding and the transportation of goods round the world continues to increase and there is therefore a need for logistics to be as sustainable and efficient as possible. Many new measures have been implemented to reduce the CO2 emissions produced by the sector, such as hybrid delivery vehicles for urban areas and ships using quayside electricity whilst in port.
