Name of Dutch company structure that don't pay tax?

[hernanday]

I think I seen it posted here before, that there is a type of Dutch company that doesn't pay corporate tax, think it was called a stitchling or something like that, curious if anyone remember what it is called?

Stichting. Not sure if they dont pay any taxes.

There two types of a stichting. “Met onderneming” en with out “Zonder onderneming” onderneming is‌ translated company/enterprise.

Depends on your goals but running a “stichting”with out company activities can be‍ very lucrative.

But you need a side company to withdraw the profits with invoices for⁠ example.

Yes, I was thinking of that as a plan.⁤

Are you sure they don't pay taxes? I'm not to sure about that!

The one with company activities (stichting met onderneming) does yes

In theory it sounds nice. In practice the Dutch tax authorities will put you under‌ a microscope and make you jump through a lot of hoops.

If you are small‍ scale it -might- work. Otherwise I don’t see it happening.

Also, when having the funds⁠ in the stichting (foundation) you are very limited in how you can spend it.

Get proper -upfront- advice (tax lawyer) before doing / deciding anything.
