Rutger Kriek is an experienced Dutch tax lawyer. The Dutch tax system is well-known for its opportunities and sophistication, but also for its challenges and complexity. Rutger’s extensive (more than 10 years) experience in practicing the sophisticated Dutch tax system gives him a competitive advantage when dealing with tax practitioners in other sophisticated and high-tax jurisdictions, as it is relatively easy for him to put himself in the position of the requesting tax adviser.
