>the whole tax system, shares, and holding management You don't have to set up a holding management structure for your company. It's there if you want to, but why make it complicated if you don't want a complicated structure? If you're small, a simple eenmanszaak will suffice - which you can fill online, and then complete within an hour at the KvK. >belasting breathing up your neck Honestly I never had any issues with the belastingdienst, as long as you file your reports every quarter/year, and you're willing to pay the taxes you owe. Any time I ever had issues, I just had to talk with one of their inspectors, go over my paperwork, and we sorted it out there. When I had issues with paying, it was one phone call to defer it for 2 years and set a payment scheme.
