Why do you need a current account agreement?
The current account agreement may be used in a variety of situations. However, it is most often used between a personal holding and a subsidiary. The personal holding will regularly advance small amounts for the subsidiary. The subsidiary will regularly do the same for the personal holding. The current account agreement functions as a written confirmation that all monetary claims and debts established between the personal holding and the subsidiary will be settled automatically. This is relevant for the Dutch tax authority. No (business) interest is charged if the current account balance does not exceed the amount of € 17.500,--. A (business) interest must be charged if the current account balance does exceed the amount of € 17.500,--. The interest rate is confirmed in an agreement. Please note that the current account agreement is meant for advances of relatively low amounts, not long-term loans. In case you have set up a holding structure, you will also need a separate current account agreement between you as director and main shareholder (DGA) and the personal holding.
