Klaas Dijkstra obtained his doctorate in Business Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam in 1979. He then took a two-year post-graduate course of the Tax & Customs Administration in Leiden, in the field of VAT and Customs, partially at the Faculty of Law at the University of Leiden. He worked as a VAT Inspector in Rotterdam until 1 April 1988, with an interruption of six months' employment as a Customs Inspector in The Hague. For three years he was a part-time teacher of VAT for the State Accountant training.

In 1988, Klaas moved to the consultancy Paardekooper & Hoffman, now MAZARS, where he established the VAT and Customs section. From 1990 he was a partner at this firm. Since 1999, he has been an independent tax lawyer and tax consultant in the specialist practice of VAT, real estate transfer tax and - to a lesser degree - customs, now under the name DHK.

Klaas has given many lectures on VAT and other fiscal topics, writes regularly in specialist journals and is the author of a variety of books on fiscal subjects.

Klaas is a native speaker of Dutch, is fluent in English and has a good command of German.
