in the Netherlands. Unlike the U.S., the Netherlands never was a country of immigration, until the immi- gration waves in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the 1960s, so-called “guest workers,” mostly from Turkey and Morocco, immigrated to the Netherlands.Although these guest workers were supposed to stay only temporarily, many of them never remigrated and instead had their families reunified in the Netherlands. Besides guest workers and their families, another prominent category consists of immigrants from the former Dutch colonies in the Caribbean. After the independence of Surinam, nearly 300,000 Suri- namese, almost one-third of the Surinamese population, migrated to the Netherlands. A new wave of postcolonial migration began in the late 1980s, when residents of the Netherlands Antilles arrived. Because the Netherlands Antilles are still part of the King- dom of the Netherlands, Antilleans are Dutch nationals (Engbersen, Leerkes, and Snel, 2014). In the 1990s asylum seekers from countries like formerYugoslavia, former Soviet Union, and Iraq, came to the Netherlands, and during recent years, the open borders of the EU brought new immigrant groups from East European countries like Poland and Bulgaria, but these groups are still quite small ( Xxx Xxxxxxxx, 2013). Recently a new migration wave is occurring related to refugees, from Syria for example. Over the last 25 years, the attitude towards migrant groups has changed dramati- cally. Although the Netherlands used to have a reputation as a tolerant and multicul- tural country in which migrant groups were supposed to integrate “while maintaining the migrants ‘culture,’” Dutch multiculturalism was in fact not so much a choice for “equal recognition” but a pragmatic pacification strategy instead (Xx Xxxxx, 2011). In the 1970s and 1980s, persisting inequalities between ethnic groups gave rise to new policy based on affirmative action, with preferential treatment for migrant groups to improve their level of education, employment, and social integration. From the 1990s on, however, integration policy was gradually linked to social problems of public order and crime, leading to widespread support for anti-immigrant politicians who pointed out the “multicultural drama.”That caused the policy that emphasized preservation of the cultural identity of the minority groups to be replaced by a policy emphasizing assimilation and active citizenship (Engbersen, Leerkes, and Snel, 2014). Even though the Netherlands was once seen as the most...

in the Netherlands. The Netherlands comes in at 30th for “ease of doing business” in the World Bank’s Doing Business 201031 (further details given in Annex C6). This represents a slightly lower ranking compared to the previous year, and means that it is not considered as favourable as a number of other EU countries: UK (5th), Denmark (6th), Ireland (7th), Finland (16th) and Sweden (18th), Belgium (22nd), Estonia (24th), Germany (25th), Lithuania (26th), Latvia (27th) and Austria (28th). The Netherlands is has become increasingly proactive in seeking to attract foreign direct investments, an important part of which should come from foreign companies setting up a logistics hub in the Netherlands - either foreign owned or rented capacity from local third party. Various Dutch (semi-)government agencies work closely together to achieve this: among these, the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA), Holland Financial Centre (HFC) and the Holland International Distribution Council (HIDC).32 The Netherlands has long had a favourable tax regime which has made (and continues to make) it very attractive as a European entry point by overseas companies, particularly in view of its extensive international tax treaty network. With a corporate income tax rate of 25.5%, it has a lower rate compared to all countries surrounding it. For decades, its Participation Exemption has not taxed foreign business profits (dividends as well as capital gains) derived from subsidiaries; and recently – in January 2006 - the Capital Tax was abolished thereby freeing up capital contributions to companies. The Netherlands has traditionally been very welcoming to expatriates of foreign companies. Under the so-called 30% provision, expatriates with certain skills can receive 30% of their income as a tax free allowance. This feature also, of course, benefits the employer in negotiating (net) salaries. Another traditional benefit is the open attitude of the Dutch tax authorities to discuss tax positions with companies, unheard of in many other countries. These discussions can be formalized in agreements (or rulings) with the Dutch tax authorities that offer optimum certainty in advance. At present, various discussions are taking place with the intention to influence the Dutch investment climate in a positive way, with the objective of ensuring that tax benefits are available mainly to companies with actual business activities in the Netherlands (i.e., making a clear distinction with those using the country for...
in the Netherlands. According to a study conducted in 2004 by the World Bank, the Service sector in the Netherlands represented over 70% of the country’s GDP and over 80% of its employment. In the last five years, new jobs have almost exclusively been provided by the Service sector. This makes the Netherlands even more reliant on services than the majority of other Western European countries. The principal service sectors that are of importance to the Dutch economy are ICT technologies, nanotechnologies and genomics, telecommunications, business services, life sciences (biomedicine) as well as tourism, transportation, goods distribution (logistics), the creative industries (including publishing and media), engineering, and financial services (especially pensions and insurance)49. The Netherlands is particularly well-known for a number of service specializations which include e-commerce (“web shops”), customer care centres and personal communication services50.
