The simplest way to increase a B.V.’s capital without involving a notary is through an agio reserve contribution (capital surplus) without issuing shares. This only requires a shareholder resolution. However, to distribute this capital tax-free in the future—avoiding corporate tax and personal income tax in Box 2—you will need two notarial actions: first, convert the capital surplus into statutory share capital, and then reduce the share capital to make the distribution.
