The STAK Structure in the Netherlands
The STAK (stichting administratiekantoor) is a type of depository foundation used to acquire and administer assets in the Netherlands.
It is commonly used as an asset protection vehicle by foreign investors and enjoys certain benefits.

The Characteristics of the Dutch STAK >>
The most important characteristic of the STAK is that is can be used to buy the shares of a company and then use these shares for administrative purposes.
The STAK has legal capacity as a corporate entity and it does not require shareholders or members.

>> The Characteristics of the Dutch STAK
This legal structure is incorporated with the help of a civil law notary, by means of a notarized deed.
The STAK separates voting rights from economic rights and this makes it ideal for asset protection.
5
The Liability of a Dutch STAK Structure Director
Investors prefer to open a STAK foundation because they are not held liable for the debts of this legal structure. In principle, the STAK separates beneficial ownership from the legal ownership.
This asset protection structure is run by a board of directors (single tier management structure).

The Purpose of the STAK Structure >>
The STAK was initially used for charities and non-governmental organizations.
This structure has become widely used for acquiring and managing assets in its own name.
7
>> The Purpose of the STAK Structure
When operating a STAK, investors can issue certificates that attest the economic value of the assets.
These certificates are used under a contractual relationship and not under a corporate legal relationship. The STAK has its own trust conditions that regulate the issue of the certificates and their distribution.

Documents Needed to Incorporate a Dutch STAK Structure
A foundation in the Netherlands, including the STAK structure, is incorporated by concluding a deed of incorporation in front of a Dutch notary.
The articles of association for the foundation must also be drawn up. Our company registration experts in the Netherlands can help you incorporate a STAK.

The Taxation of the Dutch STAK
Usually, the Dutch STAK is not subject to corporate income tax because the holding of assets under title of administration is not generally considered a business activity.
The STAK is tax-transparent in the Netherlands.
