Firm overview

In our current world of change, quality has become the standard. Taxperience goes beyond it. That’s why our professionals have a ‘Not So Standard’ answer to every tax, financial or legal question. We take the extra step for our customers. Together we always find the best solutions. 

Taking the lead. Leading the way. Running faster than everyone else. Exceeding expectations. Constantly innovating to improve. Improving to get a better insight into our customers and their issues. These are the reasons why we decided to establish Taxperience. Started in 2006 we are now firmly anchored in the area of tax advisory, transfer pricing and tax technology services. And made the ‘Not So Standard’ our unique trademark. 

Taxperience literally and figuratively extends boundaries. We have become a global service provider to services our (international) customers, who are active worldwide. We are unconventional and independent. At the same time, we believe in combining knowledge and expertise. Through our Global network, which we have built over the years, we are able to provide best-in-class, seamless service to clients around the globe. It enables our customers to consult the very best professionals around the world. 

The TP team of Taxperience in the Netherlands is led by Josine Vos, which team offers a full range of services, including but not limited to TP documentation projects, benchmarking, CbCR compliance, TP policy design, value chain analysis, obtaining advance pricing agreements, innovation box rulings, IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 valuations and other economic analysis, tax audits and tax litigation. 

We serve a wide range of clients from start-ups to (listed) multinationals. Because of this variation of clients, who all have different challenges, a ‘standard advise’ does not exist. For each type of client, our TP team always looks for the right and appropriate solution which is practical and workable at the same time. Our objective isn’t to be the biggest firm, it is to provide best-in-class client services in seamless fashion across the globe. To do so, our TP team works closely together with our Taxperience professionals specialized in International Tax, VAT and Human Capital in order to provide fully integrated services. 

We explore. We take action. We innovate. To find the best solution for our customers. 

Firm overview

Welcome to the largest tax-only law firm in the Netherlands. Atlas is fully focused on tax. This specialisation enables us to excel in what really drives us. Founded in 2010, our firm quickly gained a reputation for excellence and its signature personalised service.

We stand behind four core values that define our character: drive, openness, excelling together and a sense of fun. These values filter through every aspect of our work and influence the service our clients expect: that we’re highly skilled in taxation while also being entrepreneurial, innovative, available and responsible.

Atlas is part of the newly formed premier advisory group – Svalner Atlas Group.

We operate in small teams, making sure that clients find it easy to approach us and trust that all team members, from junior to partner, are fully engaged.

These include attorney and civil law notaries from like-minded law firms that match our level of experience, reliability and personal approach. Atlas is accredited by the Dutch Association of Tax Advisers (NOB).
