Tax matters

Alliander’s tax policy focuses on national taxes in the Netherlands, which are mainly corporate income tax, wage tax and VAT. The key aspect of this tax policy is that Alliander is a committed, reliable and transparent tax-paying company that pays its fair share of taxes to society. Our tax policy is published on our public website. Alliander subscribed to the VNO-NCW Tax Governance Code in July 2022. The elements of the code are:

  • A clear tax strategy

  • A clear governance strategy

  • Compliance with tax laws and regulations

  • A constructive relationship with the tax authorities

  • Maximum transparency about tax payments

In December 2022, Alliander signed a new horizontal monitoring agreement with the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration for a period of three years.

Most of Alliander’s activities are subject to Dutch tax law, although the local tax rules apply to our activities in Germany. The table below shows the totals per type of tax per country.
