DB Tax Advisory

“The only thing that matters to you is that victory in your next match. That triumph you live for.”

All athletes should be able to work with a team that develops their potential in the best way. Unfortunately, that’s not always possible. Often due to financial limitations.

Everybody has to deal with taxes. For many people it’s a clear-cut situation. Unfortunately, not for athletes. For athletes it’s often a complex field and, even more, something you don’t want to have on your mind.

The impact of tax on an athlete’s budget is underestimated. Many athletes could widen their financial possibilities if they improved their tax position. A few examples of budget losses: double taxation, not applying for tax deductions and not taking all costs into account. In short, a non-optimal tax position limits possibilities to build your career and reach your full potential.

DB Tax Advisory creates the optimal tax strategy keeping in mind your personal life, your career and tax law. We deliver high-end tax advice for athletes who are in a complex tax position. We thrive on helping those who have a moral sense towards their tax responsibilities. We go for a win and play fair. Just like you.

Let’s meet for an introduction without any obligations. See you in our office or on your court.

The Netherlands

National tax

We handle your income tax (related) matters whether you are an employee, self employed or shareholder of your private company. International performances are a special point of attention in this (see also next). Former athlete? We are happy to service you as well because there is no such thing as a ‘former’ athlete.

Foreign tax

One of the most painful tax issues for athletes is overly withheld tax on foreign prize money which has been won with blood, sweat and tears. Limiting double taxation is covered in a jungle of rules and operational processes. We handle your foreign withheld tax with care in your Dutch tax returns.

Tax advice

Athletes are in a unique tax position from which regularly arise complex tax questions. We think along with you and advise about the most suitable way to solve these tax questions and make optimal use of the tax regulations. With that double taxation can be avoided.

International

Foreign tax

Dutch resident but withheld tax on your foreign prize money? We help you to meet your foreign tax obligations and reclaim overly withheld by filing a foreign income tax return.

Foreign country

Made a transfer to a club in another country and moving there? In some countries , such as in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany we file your income tax return for you. In some other countries we work with trusted advisors. We guide you in this process of becoming a foreign tax resident and meet local obligations.
