i'd need to check this out with my former tutor - but as a reasonably
fluent Dutch speaker i understand Stichting to mean any kind of
organisation - it does not have a legal meaning as far as i am aware.
then again - IANADL - i am not a dutch lawyer ;)

hello,
I gathered some information on the topic of
registering a
foundation here in Amsterdam, but please keep in mind IANAL.
Thank you very much for your work!
what is a Foundation (Stichting) in
Netherlands? Foundations
are continental European equivalents of the Anglo-Saxon trusts,
the long-established estate and tax planning tool whose chief
purpose is to provide a safe haven for assets intended for
selected beneficiaries. Like trusts, they offer a number of tax
benefits, their chief purpose being to provide a haven for
assets intended for nominated beneficiaries.
Just a single thing I'm not sure I understood: does `nominated' in
this context means that beneficiaries of the assets should be declared
beforehand and not changed throughout the lifetime of the "Stichting"?
bye,
