Reader question: Can a Thai company be run from the Netherlands?
Dear readers,
My girlfriend currently lives in Thailand and runs her own business there, namely a tour company. She receives orders, and then sends her guides to it.
Now the question: is it possible for her to move to the Netherlands, and run her business in Thailand from the Netherlands and generate income?
Her company is registered in Thailand, should you cancel the company there and register a new company here in the Netherlands?
Is it possible to do this anyway, and what catches are there?
I hear that there are people on this blog who know how and what, or have experienced it themselves. All info is welcome..
With kind regards,
Jay
Hello Jay,
You do not say whether your girlfriend is Thai or Dutch, but I assume that it concerns a long-term stay in the Netherlands and that she will therefore be regarded as a taxable person.
Regardless of whether her company can still be managed at that distance, it is certainly possible.
She does not have to set up a company in the Netherlands for this.
The only 'problem' is the Dutch tax authorities. If your girlfriend sends money to the Netherlands, the Dutch bank will be able to ask questions about the origin. In my opinion, she can do two things: 1) Make an agreement with the Thai tax authorities and pay taxes in Thailand and show the papers to the Dutch tax authorities, so that they are sure that it is not black money.
2) Since almost no small business in Thailand pays income tax, she can transfer money to a Thai relative (if she has one, of course) for small amounts and receive it back in the form of a gift. The maximum annual exempt amount is Euro 5.229.
Even if she were to learn something in the Netherlands, it could be regarded as a contribution to study costs.
The tax treaty between the two countries applies. That applies, not an appointment you make with one of the services. Consult the tax treaty and a Dutch expert if the Netherlands is going to be the country of residence. The legal form of the Thai company is also important.
Finally, I note that Thailand has no gift tax.
The thinly veiled advice to cheat is something I condemn.
Do you want to pass on your email?
Maybe there is a solution.

Hi,
I don't know… but when I read it like this it is about something like digital nomad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_nomad)
Yes, as a Thai you can run your business in Thailand from the Netherlands (call, fax Enzo) and run your business in the Netherlands in Thailand, as a Dutch person. You cannot just do work in countries other than your origin… you must have work permit(s) for that. So yes, she can run her business in Thailand from the Netherlands (and vice versa) but her business cannot be active in the Netherlands. Something like that, I think.
