Dutch / EU Desk

Connecting Suriname with the Netherlands and the European Union

KGL Tax & Legal offers a dedicated Dutch / EU Desk that provides seamless legal and tax support to clients with ties to the Netherlands and other EU jurisdictions. Operating from our office in The Hague, the desk supports both corporate and private clients navigating the legal and fiscal complexities between Suriname and the EU.

We advise European companies investing in Suriname—particularly in the extractive industries—as well as Surinamese businesses expanding into the Netherlands or broader EU markets. Our work often involves coordinating cross-border transactions and structuring investments, especially those involving Surinamese assets held through Dutch or EU-based entities.

We understand the legal, tax, and cultural nuances that shape cross-border decision-making. Many clients face fragmented advice, as most advisors operate exclusively in either Suriname or the Netherlands, with little coordination between jurisdictions. KGL bridges that gap by offering truly integrated, dual-jurisdiction support—grounded in practical experience on both sides.
