Private Tax Advice in Sint Maarten
Aalbers Private Tax Advisory is a boutique tax firm in Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten. We advise private clients, entrepreneurs and property owners on profit tax, income tax, turnover tax and transfer tax, on relocation and estate planning, and on disputes with the Inspector. Founder Marco Aalbers is a tax lawyer who spent more than a decade in the Caribbean at a Big Four advisory firm and later as a tax inspector, so he knows how a case is assessed from both sides of the table.
The Aalbers Standard
We operate where standard solutions are insufficient. By combining experience from both the tax authorities and private advisory, we provide a distinct understanding of how regulations are applied in practice. Every engagement is handled directly at the partner level, ensuring absolute accountability and discretion.
The questions that reach us usually arrive at a decision point. A company is about to buy property and its structure is not yet fixed. A client is considering a move to the island and wants to know whether the penshonado regime is within reach. A supply chain runs through several entities and turnover tax accumulates at every step. An assessment has been received and the choice is between accepting it and objecting.
The general rules behind those questions are set out in Doing Business in Sint Maarten: A Tax Guide and in Objecting to a Sint Maarten Tax Assessment. What they mean for a particular position takes a conversation.
