Nice to meet you, I am Iven de Hoon, I was raised in Antwerp, Belgium. My dad taught me that hard work, creativity, and self-leadership lead to success. I now share this wisdom with my three children, and I’ve been quite successful at it.
I studied law (University of Antwerp, Belgium) and obtained an additional masters in ‘Tax law and Accounting’ (Vlerick Institute, Ghent University, Belgium). In 2009 I won the ‘Willoughby Memorial Price’ (St. Jesus College Oxford). At the beginning of my career, I spent a few years working as a tax lawyer in a large accountancy firm. I returned to my passion for writing and co-founded Indicator, a publishing house in Leuven, Belgium, serving as editor-in-chief for over 15 years.
Indicator has published newsletters in various European countries, providing advice for self-employed individuals and entrepreneurs. However, people occasionally seek new challenges. Thus, I decided to combine my passions for travel, writing, and international taxation. Consequently, I started my own international tax advisory firm in 2007, which involved extensive travel. Additionally, I wrote several books on international taxation, including ‘Belastingparadijzen’ (Tax Havens) and ‘Hoe maak ik mij onzichtbaar voor de fiscus’ (How to Become Invisible to Tax Authorities). Meanwhile, I have traveled to 65 countries to better understand my clients and their needs.
Meanwhile our tax advisory firm, De Hoon & Partners, is headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, with offices and partnerships in various countries. As a result, we have become a reliable partner for creative international tax planning. Moreover, our websites are essential for sharing information and staying connected with clients. Therefore, we strive to be approachable and transparent. Please feel free to email us with your questions. Additionally, you can explore our website for more information; we welcome you!
Kind regards,
Iven De Hoon
Managing Director
