Asset management

You have spent a lot of time and attention building your assets. It is therefore wise to have a good understanding of what will happen to your assets if you are to pass away. After all, you want your heirs to pay as little inheritance tax as possible on the assets they accrue. Therefore, it is important to think about these questions regarding donations, marriages, children, wills and perhaps your own company.

Inheritance tax

Inheritance Tax is the tax levied on an inheritance. When someone acquires possession from an inheritance, this person may have to pay inheritance tax over the possession. Whether inheritance tax is indebted, depends on the monetary value of the inheritance and the relationship between the deceased and the beneficiary.

Gift tax

Gift tax is tax that is levied on donations in the Netherlands. When someone receives a donation, the recipient may have to pay gift tax over the monetary value of the gift.
