Simultaneously, the State Secretary of Finance sent a letter to Dutch Parliament about proposed changes to the Dutch dividend withholding tax position of cooperatives from 1 January 2018.

Multinationals, international investors and investment funds should analyse the implications of these changes and reconsider current structures.
