One firm for all your tax matters
Valorem is a tax advisory firm for businesses in the Netherlands and abroad, led by a senior tax adviser with an LL.M. in tax law and five years of VAT experience. We handle your compliance and your advice, with particular depth in VAT and cross-border trade.
Valorem Tax Advisory
Senior tax advice, without the layers
Senior tax adviser · LL.M. in tax law · five years in VAT
Valorem is led by a senior tax adviser with a university education in tax law (LL.M.) and five years of hands-on experience in VAT, including VAT compliance for international groups: registrations, periodic returns, EC Sales Lists, refunds and the questions that come with cross-border supply chains.
That background shapes how we work. Every position is tested against the statute, case law and policy, and recorded with its source, so your file holds up when the tax authorities ask. Deadlines are planned, not chased.
You deal with one adviser who knows your business, from the first conversation to the final return. No account managers in between, and no new face every quarter.
Principles
What you can hold us to
- Quality over quantity: we only take on work we are really good at
- Always supported: a position without a source is an opinion, and that does not help you in an audit
- Honest about doubt: where the law leaves room, we say so, and how likely it is to go the other way
- Your file stays yours: everything we make you receive in a usable form, also if you ever leave
The name
Where the name comes from
Ad valorem is Latin for ‘according to value’. It is the name for a tax calculated as a percentage of the value, rather than a fixed amount per item. Almost every tax you pay as a business owner works that way, from the VAT on your turnover to the corporate income tax on your profit.
Working out that value is our job: what is in the price, who supplies and in which country. We take the time for that. That is why we only take on work we are really good at.
What we do not do
We focus on tax compliance and advice for businesses and their Dutch entities. Some work we deliberately leave to others:
- Mergers, demergers and restructurings
- Statutory audits of annual accounts
- Structures that only work if the tax authorities do not find out
