About

Provided by Lubbers, Boer & Douma

At Lubbers, Boer & Douma (“LBD”), a high-end tax boutique based in The Hague, we use our deep understanding of domestic, EU and international tax law, including transfer pricing, to solve our clients’ complicated tax issues. Such issues can only be solved if they are first made simple. For this reason, LBD has a strong academic profile. Our team of partners and associates (15-20) has ample experience in the judiciary and tax consultancy. LBD is successful in the termination of (threatening) tax disputes. We are focused on the solution and provide clear information. This creates trust among all parties that a solution based on fiscal considerations is possible. Our (second) opinions and analyses ensure that all relevant arguments were considered during the advisory process, consider whether a settlement offer by the DTA should be accepted and determine tax litigation success chances. LBD also acts as a sounding board for tax strategic questions and supervises extensive audits. In addition, we represent clients in disputes at all levels, including arbitration proceedings and MAPs.
