On November 3, 2023 the Dutch Supreme Court ruled in a case regarding dividends denominated in a foreign currency that are received by a Dutch resident entity (ECLI:NL:HR:2023:1504). More in particular the judgment concerns the moment of occurrence, or at least the mandatory capitalization of a dividend receivable for Dutch corporate income tax purposes. The Dutch participation exemption applies to such dividends up to the moment such dividend receivable is to be capitalized as a separate asset on the balance sheet for tax purposes. As of that moment currency exchange results realized/incurred with respect to the dividend receivable are taxable/deductible for Dutch corporate income tax purposes. Considering the fact that Dutch entities very often have a pivotal role in international holding structures and the fact that the judgment of the Dutch Supreme Court deviates from what seems to have been the predominate opinion in literature makes this judgment of the Dutch Supreme Court a definite must read for any tax specialist who is involved in international holding structures that involve Dutch (sub-)holdings.
