Impact of international tax developments on Nordic multinationals
In a rapidly changing international tax environment, it is key to understand the impact of recent developments on Nordic multinationals with businesses and corporate structures in the Netherlands. We will have a look at how various new measures against Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) are affecting these companies. For example, are Dutch holding, group financing and intellectual property companies still viable? And what is the impact of country-by-country reporting and the exchange of tax rulings?

We Find&Grow Your Leaders. Within our Talent Management Practice, coaching and mentoring are two aspects that we specialize in as part of Leadership Development Programs or for individual cases. Having been a Mentor within this program for the past 2 years and being a professional business coach and trainer, I am very excited to take on the challenge. As Mentor, I have had the privilege to partner with 2 very bright and ambitious young professionals. I think I can say that both the mentees and I learned a lot from each other.
I am married to a Swedish beauty and also have a very strong business relationship with our AIMS partner in Sweden, delivering our services to our mutual clients. Hence the membership of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce.
The ambition for the Mentorship Program is to give young professionals the opportunity to connect with a senior business executive outside of his or her direct environment. Giving the participants access to guidance in issues concerning their future career.
As a group we will work on specific topics such as culture and building trusted relationships and we will invite subject matter experts to come and talk to us. The Mentees and Mentors will also spend time together on subjects of their own choice.”
