Legal forms (BV, NV, VOF, etc.)
The form chosen for the practice of your business is the legal form. The legal form determines, among other things, the tax obligations. The owner of a company is the legal entity. This legal entity has a tax liability. The legal form also determines liability. There are two types of legal forms. Namely, the legal forms without and with legal personality. This determines whether or not an entrepreneur is privately liable for debts from the company.
Legal forms without legal personality
In each of the legal forms below, one is liable with the entire private assets for debts from the company. The most common are:
- Sole proprietorship;
- General partnership (VOF)
- Company
- Limited partnership (CV)
Legal forms with legal personality
In the case of a legal form with legal personality, you are only liable for private assets in exceptional cases. These are the following legal forms:
- Private Limited Company (BV)
- Public limited company (NV)
- Association
- Foundation
When you start and your company makes relatively little profit, a sole proprietorship, VOF or partnership is often the most advantageous for tax purposes. There is a self-employed deduction and there is no obligation to have annual accounts, which entails the necessary costs.
A BV or NV does have this obligation to provide annual accounts. A notarial deed is also required upon incorporation. A BV has higher costs but a lower tax burden than a sole proprietorship, partnership or VOF.

Partly due to our expert tax specialists, who all have years of experience (all tax specialists min. 25 years of experience and mr. title), we see all the possibilities. We turn these opportunities into benefits for our customers and protect them. Choosing the right legal form is an easy task for us.
