Dutch Desk

As border countries, Germany and the Netherlands are inseparable in ways of culture and business. The Netherlands and Germany share infrastructure, employees, but also consumers and investments. For a variety of reasons, Dutch citizens choose to go to work in Germany or even become permanent residents there, while from their side, increasing numbers of Germans (individuals and/or corporate entities) are moving to the Netherlands, temporarily as well as permanently.

The German Desk of Atlas is focused on assisting German individuals and corporate entities residing in the Netherlands with its extensive experience and tax expertise on cross-border fiscal advice in relation to the German and Dutch market. Our multidisciplinary team can rely on a strong international network of tax experts, lawyers and notaries that match our level of experience, reliability and personal approach.
