Company vs sole trader

A sole trader is taxed personally on all profit at progressive rates. A company (BV) is taxed at the corporate rate first, then again when you take money out — but it unlocks levers (salary/dividend split, pension, reserves) a sole trader cannot use. Which keeps more depends mostly on how much you earn.

This article is general information for a one-person company (BV), not tax advice. Rules and figures change — confirm your situation with your accountant before acting.
