As 2024 nears its end, it is time for our annual tax update. This update focuses on the tax trends and developments we foresee for 2025 and includes tips and takeaways.

In this update, our specialists inform you about relevant current tax developments and trends in the EU, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland that impact MNEs.

Our specialists start with a view on the role of taxation in European tax policy. Subsequently, an comprehensive overview of European and international tax developments is given, followed by those in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. You will appreciate that the nature of these developments differs per country, so our aim has been not to discuss the same topics for each country.
