Tax support by BDO

As the driving force behind the family business, you have to deal with a range of issues every day. No doubt there will be some tax matters that require your attention. The combination of taxation and business succession is a major issue, in particular now tax-friendly business transfers in inheritance tax legislation are in the spotlight again.

Taxes on commercial real estate and investments form an important item for consideration within the structure of your family business. If the following generation (or an external party) is not gifted the business but pays the purchase price, a lot of different (tax) aspects will come into play.

Tax issues
