Blue Umbrella Company B.V.

About Blue Umbrella Company B.V.

Since 2008 this Amsterdam practice has positioned itself as an English-language interface between internationals and the Dutch tax office, and it reports having served more than 50,000 people from at least 100 nationalities. The business grew out of childcare-allowance work for staff of international organisations and diplomatic missions, then expanded into personal income tax and business tax support for expats. Individuals can have their Dutch returns prepared and filed, apply for or renew the expat scheme known as the 30% ruling, and receive English summaries of letters sent by the Belastingdienst. Freelancers, BVs, partnerships and holding companies are offered fixed-fee packages covering bookkeeping software, VAT and ICP filings and corporate tax, while foreign and domestic employers can outsource payroll for international staff. US tax filing for Americans in the EU now runs through a separate sister platform. The firm does not offer company incorporation itself; its value for foreign clients lies in ongoing tax and administration once they live or trade in the Netherlands.
