Background

About Charles van Berkum

I am working as a withholding tax reclaim specialist in the financial area in the Netherlands for over 20 years now.I am managing the process of reclaiming overpaid foreign withholding tax for Dutch residents in almost all important markets.Also, I am able to assist & advise our clients during the complete reclaim, quick refund or relief at source process.More effective as reclaiming afterwards, is to implement relief at source or quick refund procedures in back office administration systems with custodians. In this procedure withholding tax is levied according to the appropriate bilateral double tax treaty rate.Because of continously changing regulations, knowledge must be updated at a daily base. Theoretical procedures are not always market practice, as I know now after 20 years in the tax reclaim area.Should any Dutch custodian, investment bank or other large investing institution need any advise of how to retrieve back overpaid witholding tax on dividends or how to implement upfront relief at source structuring, they are welcome to contact me for more information.Best regards,Charles van BerkumSpecialties: Knowledge of Relief at Source, Quick Refund & Tax Reclaim procedures.
