Energy & Natural Resources
Rootz Tax Lawyers advises companies active in the energy and natural resources sector on the tax implications of exploration, development, and operational activities in Suriname and the Dutch Caribbean.
In Suriname, our services include – among other things – corporate income tax advice and compliance, VAT compliance, and payroll structuring and compliance. We also assist with the proper treatment and allocation of intercompany services, ensuring consistency with international tax principles.
In the Dutch Caribbean, we assist developers and investors in renewable energy with the tax aspects of wind, solar, and energy infrastructure projects. This includes advice on indirect tax treatment, import duties on equipment, corporate income tax and transfer pricing, and payroll tax obligations during both construction and operational phases.
Across jurisdictions, we advise clients on:
- Tax treatment of production sharing contracts (PSCs)
- Structuring of joint ventures, consortia, and contractor–subcontractor relationships
- Tax rulings and fiscal incentive arrangements with local tax authorities
- Local content regulations and their tax implications
- Indirect tax aspects of public and private energy projects
- Application of tax treaties and avoidance of double taxation
Our team understands the operational demands of energy projects and ensures that tax considerations are fully aligned with regulatory frameworks and long-term investment objectives.
