Newsflash Proposed changes to the Dutch substantial interest taxation and Dutch Dividend withholding tax
On September 16, 2011, a Tax Bill was published in which, inter alia, certain amendments to the Dutch substantial interest regulations and the Dutch dividend withholding tax Act are proposed. Although the current draft Tax Bill still needs approval from Dutch parliament and therefore may be amended, it is expected that the proposed changes will take effect on January 1, 2012.
