China’s 13th Five-Year Plan stresses the development objectives in areas like high-tech, agriculture, clean and efficient energy and transport which all dovetail with what the Netherlands’ leading economic sectors have to offer.
Cross country businesses between China and the Netherlands are becoming common. However, there are different legal frameworks and vastly different business cultures between the two nations. To overcome the challenges brought about by the differences and to avoid adverse effects on business success, we have to fully understand and observe these differences and practices. This is where the China desk from Grant Thornton can support you.
Our China desk has been formed by Grant Thornton in the Netherlands in cooperation with our member firm in China. With our rich industry knowledge, experience in tax, auditing, advisory and legal services we offer a solid professional expertise. And through our dedicated team of bilingual and trilingual specialists and global Grant Thornton network we can guarantee optimal client relations on-site to Chinese companies and individuals who look to expand into the Netherlands and Dutch companies that look for investment opportunities in China. We help to navigate the challenges faced when operating in the Netherlands or China and therefore help you succeed.
We offer a broad range of services including accounting, tax, auditing, advisory and legal services. Our team comprises Dutch Certified Public Accountant (CPAs) and Dutch tax advisors. All of our tax advisors are members of the Dutch Association of Tax Advisers. We are familiar with the Dutch accounting standards, the Chinese accounting standard CAS, the international accounting standard IAS/IFRS and the American accounting standard US GAAP. We are experienced in conversion between Dutch accounting standards and Chinese accounting standards. We also have extensive outbound investment experience in assisting Chinese clients to enter the Dutch market.
