Ruben van Aarle

Ruben van Aarle graduated as a tax lawyer from the University of Tilburg.  He started his professional career as a tax lawyer at Arthur Andersen, the Dutch business of which merged into Deloitte in 2002.  At Deloitte, Ruben worked as a member of the corporate & international tax law practice group until mid-2005, at which time he joined Taxperience as a partner.

At Taxperience, Ruben advises a variety of businesses, ranging from starters in the market (often Internet, IT, and technology-driven businesses) to internationally operating SMEs and publicly traded corporations.  Ruben is keen on conceiving original tax solutions and thinking along with his clients in implementing the solutions efficiently.  Ruben's out-of-the-box way of thinking, which is typical of all partners at Taxperience, clearly manifests itself in his advisory work.   Ruben has been a member of the Dutch Association of Tax Lawyers since 1999.

The focus of Ruben's tax advisory services is in the field of direct taxation, specifically relating to tax planning, mergers & acquisitions, restructuring operations, finance structures, transfer pricing and cross-border employment.  Ruben has gained vast experience with comprehensive tax audits and complex consultative and negotiating rounds of discussions with Dutch and non-Dutch tax authorities.  He is also well-versed in negotiating Advance Pricing Agreements and handling Mutual Agreement Procedures with Dutch and non-Dutch Ministries of Finance.

Ruben loves to spend his leisure time travelling and enjoying good food and wine.  To make up for his physical inactivity at the office and in the car, Ruben works out, plays tennis and golf, and is a keen jogger and skier.
