The Netherlands has a plan to significantly improve tax transparency and to combat international tax avoidance by updating double tax treaties with low- and middle-income countries.

The Netherlands has signed with more than 90 nations. The Netherlands aims to implement a series of concrete general measures aimed at combating international tax avoidance. The Government will guarantee that the generous action requirements are incorporated in more tax treaties. Likewise, the Netherlands expects to inform its treaty partners spontaneously when, by and large, a company is found not to meet the substantial activity requirements.
