DAFT
IND application, business setup and ongoing Dutch tax compliance: we guide you through the entire DAFT process, start to finish.
One partner, the whole move
The Dutch American Friendship Treaty lets you get Dutch residency by starting or investing in a Dutch business. We guide you through the entire process: from assessing whether you qualify, preparing and managing your IND application, setting up your business correctly and meeting the €4,500 investment requirement. Once you’re approved, we ensure your business remains compliant and your residence status stays in good standing.
What this includes
IND application prep, Chamber of Commerce (KVK) registration, business structuring, tax registration, and ongoing income tax and VAT compliance.
What to expect
One point of contact for your whole move: your IND application handled, your business set up correctly, and your Dutch tax obligations covered as you go. We also advise on partner residency and practical relocation matters.

What clients say about us
“We have been working with DutchTaxAdvice for almost 5 years. They have helped us register companies, manage taxes, handle employment contracts and essentially manage everything we needed to keep the company functioning so we could focus on our product instead of accounting or tax management. They are true experts and always happy to advice best options in concrete situations.”
“DutchTaxAdvice has proven to be the partner we had been hoping to find, and their support began long before we were even incorporated. They walked us through incorporation, submitting amendments to the KVK, and helped our employees apply for the 30% ruling. They’re responsive, friendly, and quick to help translate Dutch tax requirements whenever needed.”
Your DAFT renewal depends on clean books
The IND requires signed-off annual accounts at renewal. We handle your bookkeeping, VAT returns and annual accounts, so renewal is a formality, not a scramble.
