Are the costs of setting up a stamrecht BV deductible?

Yes, the costs of setting up a stamrecht BV are deductible. Expatax can take care of the formation of a stamrecht BV for you. Our fee includes the costs of the notary and is deductible as an expense for the stamrecht BV. 

Whether the VAT can be claimed back (partially) depends whether the BV will also perform commercial activities. A stamrecht BV alone will not take part of the economic traffic and thus it will not be able to claim back VAT. Only if the BV performs commercial activities as a secondary objective the VAT can be deductible.
