In our blog of 23 December 2023, we discussed the draft legislative proposal Minimum Tax Law 2024 (“Wet minimumbelasting 2024”). We hereby inform you that the legislative proposal is no longer in draft and has been sent to the Dutch House of Representatives on 31 May 2023. Once accepted, it will be reviewed in the Dutch Senate before entering into force.
On 25 November 2022, the NOS published an article about three asylum seekers who gave the IND (the immigration and naturalization service) an ultimatum to issue a BSN (the citizen service number). In that article, the asylum seekers (wrongly) assumed that the IND is in charge of that and that it isn’t allowed to work in the Netherlands without a BSN. In this blog series, we will explain how a migrant worker can work in the Netherlands without a BSN. In our second blog, we discuss the question of how to deal with an employee without a BSN for tax purposes.

A data breach happens to the best of us. Every company or organisation can face it sooner or later. In European countries, tens of thousands of data breaches have been reported to local authorities. In the Netherlands, for example, around 25,000 reports were made. When a data leak occurs, an organisation faces a lot of issues in a short period of time. Fast and adequate action is crucial in such incidents. In this article, we provide a practical step-by-step action plan of what to do in the event of a (potential) data breach, particularly in light of the obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Non fungible tokens (NFT’s) are increasingly popular among artists who trade their art digitally. In this context, the use of well-known brands in NFT’s, as part of digital artworks, is also taking off and raised the question on how trademark law might apply to the tokens. In a recent lawsuit at the federal court of New York over the use of Hermès bags in NFT’s, the New York jury ruled on this topic.
