Sales
If you sell products or provide services, you must comply with a number of laws. The Competition Act (Mededingingswet), for example, includes rules governing the formation of cartels and positions of economic power, the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) includes rules on guarantees, and the Commodities Act (Warenwet) stipulates the requirements that must be met by food and other consumer products. Tendering rules apply if the government wants to buy your products.
Below is an overview of the rules and regulations, subsidies and taxes in relation to the topic “Sales”.
