Regels met betrekking tot het verlenen van trustdiensten en het toezicht daarop (Wet toezicht trustkantoren 2018)

This Dutch bill sets out rules for companies that provide trust services, such as administering legal structures like trusts and foundations on behalf of clients, and creates a supervisory regime for them. The Trust Offices Supervision Act 2018 (Wet toezicht trustkantoren 2018) was introduced to strengthen oversight of these firms, which can be misused for money laundering and tax evasion. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. Trust offices operating in the Netherlands would be affected, as they would need to meet licensing and supervisory requirements. Their clients and the wider financial and legal sector could also see changes in how these services are provided and monitored.
