Thomas Dasselaar

Advocaat-fiscalist | Senior Associate

Thomas is de spreekwoordelijke rots in de branding en bezit een unieke combinatie van communicatieve vaardigheden, empathie en een scherp inzicht in menselijke interacties. Hierdoor komt hij tot de kern van de fiscale uitdagingen van zijn cliënten en weet hij deze efficiënt om te zetten naar oplossingen, waar nodig in afstemming met de Belastingdienst.

Door zijn grote interesse in (internationale) fiscale beleidsstukken en hoe deze zich vertalen in concrete wetgeving voor zijn cliënten, heeft Thomas jarenlange ervaring opgebouwd op het gebied van tax governance & transparency. Dit maakt hem een waardevolle partner voor bedrijven, (pensioen)fondsen en investeerders die in control moeten zijn van hun fiscale positie in een veranderende wereld.

Thomas wordt enthousiast van tax & tech en heeft o.a. specifieke expertise op het gebied van crypto-activa en fiscaliteit, waarover hij regelmatig spreekt op congressen. Hij is in 2019-2020 uitgezonden naar ons kantoor te Londen en spreekt naast vloeiend Engels ook zakelijk Frans.
