The Swedish Chamber of Commerce has the pleasure to invite ZZP-ers, entrepreneurs, freelancers and small companies to this workshop. Moderator will be: Mrs. Josette de Goede MSc, MCM, Executive Director of Executive Education and Organisational Development, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University.
The workshop is for entrepreneurs, freelancers (or ZZP-ers) and small companies of the Swe-Cham, DDBC and FDTG. This interactive 2-hour workshop aims to give more insights into entrepreneurship: what are the mindset and skills of an entrepreneur and how to keep developing your business in turbulent times?

• What back-up/support do you have and how/when do you use them?
This workshop is the first in a series of knowledge sharing sessions, exclusively designed for the members of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and the other Nordic business clubs. During the year we will continue to offer workshops and seminars for different target groups with various topics.
You are welcome to participate, get inspired and share your experiences with fellow members!

10, 11 & 12 February: Davis Cup Netherlands - Finland
After the football matches between Netherlands and Finland in 2010 and 20011 there will be again an interesting sport event in 2012 where 'our' both countries will meet: the Davis Cup (tennis). This event will take on 10-12 February in 's-Hertogenbosch.
The KNLTB (Royal Dutch Lawn Tennis Association) is offering special business packages which you can check in attached registration form. This event might be a perfect opportunity to invite your business relations, colleagues or other guests. You can go all three days but of course you can also select a particular day.
If you like to register you can return the form directly to the KNLTB but it would be nice to return them via the FDTG secretariat. We can then see if we can form a large FDTG delegation and organize something extra. Of course we will send your form directly to the KNLTB. If you have questions please don't hesitate to contact the Secretariat.
15 February: Tax seminar by Loyens & Loeff
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce and Loyens & Loeff cordially invites the members of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, the Danish Dutch Business Club and the Finnish Dutch Trade Guild to the Tax Seminar by Loyens & Loeff. This seminar offers an update on fiscal and corporate law developments for Management (CEO, CFO, Directors) and those responsible for finance, legal and tax at multinational member enterprises of the Swe-Cham, DDBC and FDTG.
New tax incentives for innovation
Recently, the research and development (R&D) deduction was introduced, which could reduce your tax liability. This new measure is an addition to the already existing innovation box A and R&D wage tax incentive. It could apply in many situations. We will discuss the opportunities arising from the R&D deduction, as well as the already existing incentives.
Recent tax developments
Avoid unexpected surprises and use opportunities. There have been various recent developments in tax legislation and case law, such as the introduction of a new limitation on interest deduction for acquisition holdings, new case law on interest deduction on group loans, and the introduction of a new exemption method to avoid double taxation on foreign profits. We will give a summary of the new challenges and opportunities arising from these developments.
Corporate governance - developments on management board's tasks and conflict of interest rules
We see that businesses are being stripped to the bone within multinational groups. This creates certain risks. During the seminar, we will provide assistance in reducing these risks.
Changes in the expat regime (30%-ruling)
The Dutch expat regime in the wage tax (the so called 30%-ruling) can substantially lower tax expenses for expats. The 30%-ruling allows employees who work outside their home countries to receive 30% of their employment income free of tax. Recently, a number of restrictions to the 30% ruling were introduced. During the seminar, we will look at these changes in detail.
Venue: Loyens & Loeff, Fred. Roeskestraat 100, 1076 ED Amsterdam
