LIMES international

About LIMES international

Cross-border work has been the core of this practice since 1990, when it began advising companies and individuals who move people, activities and income between countries. Headquartered in Valkenburg, between Leiden and The Hague, LIMES international also has an Amsterdam office, a Belgian office in Dendermonde and UK locations in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Its multidisciplinary teams combine business tax, expatriate and global mobility tax, social security, payroll and immigration, so that an employer posting staff to or from the Netherlands deals with one coordinated provider. Expatriates are a central client group: the firm files Dutch tax returns for them, handles applications for the 30% expat ruling through its own online tool and reviews the effect of rule changes on payroll. An International Desk coordinates questions that involve foreign network partners. The firm is now part of activpayroll, a payroll and HR group of Scottish origin, while keeping its own name. More than sixty people are listed on its team page.
