The
Netherlands Antilles and Aruba have a special role to
play in making Holland an attractive jurisdiction in
which to base international holding and trading operations.
Dividends paid by a Dutch corporation to a Netherlands
Antilles or Aruban company are subject to reduced withholding
tax rates. This is a very unusual arrangement since
Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are offshore jurisdictions
which don't normally have double tax treaties with high-tax
countries.
As
from 1st January 2002 the standard Dutch withholding
tax rate on dividends of 25% is reduced to a rate of
8.3% on dividends remitted to a Netherlands Antilles
company provided that the Netherlands Antilles company
holds at least 25% of the Dutch company's paid up share
capital. Previously this rate was 7.5%.

Antilles and Aruba
