Hi, Eric, In the Netherlands specifically the provision of this service is subject to anti-terrorism financing, anti-whitewashing, and anti-fraud laws (wwft). In both Europe and the US it is covered by the KYC (know your client) regulations.
It is an excellent service and extremely popular; it is also important to get right the first time, as the fines for violation are really not trivial. So your basic approach is good I think but you will need to include in your pricing the cost of compliance. I have also already gone nine rounds with the KvK and the BD about what is necessary and what is not. It is not that they have to more or less permanently use the space, it is that they have to have the right to do so. Under certain circumstances the tax authorities require what is called a permanent establishment for the issuance of a VAT number but this does not affect the KvK address. Feel free to contact me if you want to talk about it in detail (or in Dutch. :-)) Warm regards, Jeannine deKamer.eu On Sunday, January 20, 2019 at 12:01:03 AM UTC+1, Eric Haas wrote: > > Hey Paula, I have recently took over a coworking space in Amsterdam.
