Toon’s area of expertise lies in the field of traditional taxation, such as corporate tax, personal income tax, international taxation and VAT.  In this area, he advises and assists on restructuring cases and has successfully completed several ruling procedures on tax-free partial demergers or group restructuring, as well as legal certainty on the tax-free nature of capital gains on shares and investments such as designer watches and rare collector’s cards. In addition, Toon assists investors in relation to tax on cryptocurrencies and has developed particular expertise in this area. He helps clients with the reintegration of crypto income in legal tender, with their banks. In this context, he has led tax regularisation proceedings and applications for preliminary decisions in tax cases.   In recent cases, he assisted several clients in the correct declaration of their crypto income in personal income tax. Where necessary, Toon successfully advises on and supervises a tax regularisation with the tax administration or an application for an advance ruling (so-called ‘ruling’).
