The GP could be a non-resident individual or entity, such as a stichting (Dutch foundation). In this situation, the tax and accounting position will be the same as above.

Muchas gracias y saludos.

Ingka Holding, a su vez, pertenece por completo a la Fundación Stichting Ingka. Las fundaciones son el tipo más común de organizaciones sin fines de lucro en Holanda, y son muy utilizadas para deducir impuestos. De hecho, existen decenas de miles.

The Stichting INGKA Foundation is a Dutch foundation founded in 1982 by Ingvar Kamprad, who is chairman. The name "INGKA" comes from a contraction of his name; "Stichting" is the Dutch language word for foundation. The stated purpose is To promote and support innovation in the field of architectural and interior design.

stichting (Dutch foundation) fundación neerlandesa (stichting), stichting (fundación neerlandesa)

Explanation:
No sé neerlandés, pero si buscas en Google [stichting "Dutch foundation"] en inglés, los resultados apuntan a que "stichting" pudiera ser una/la palabra neerlandesa que se traduciría como "foundation", en español "fundación". En este caso se mantiene la palabra neerlandesa, pienso, para indicar exactamente el carácter jurídico de la entitad ("stichting") y evitar posibles equívocos.

No obstante, me asigno un nivel de confianza "low" por no saber neerlandés.

ONG/ fideicomiso / fundación

Explanation:
Esta palabra es holandesa y significa fideicomiso. En este contexto, no creo que se deba traducir literalmente, ya que figura como un ejemplo de una entidad sin fines de lucro, que goza fiscalmente de un trato especial, como lo sería un "no residente".

Sugiero ONG, fundación o fideicomiso, ya que todas esas palabras tienen la característica de representar entidades fiscalmente exentas o privilegiadas.

Netherlands Antilles Stichting (Foundation)
The stichting (or foundation) is the equivalent in this civil law jurisdiction of the trust in a common law jurisdiction, although unlike the trust, the stichting has legal personality. It was originally created for welfare purposes, but is now often used to act as a trustee or manager of assets for a third party, or to control shares in companies. Shareholders receive certificates of participation in return for shares transferred to the stichting, and can be paid dividends. The certificates can be either registered or bearer and are freely transferable.
A stichting is constituted under the Civil Code; the main characteristics of the stichting are as follows:
• A stichting must be entered in the commercial register of the Chamber of Commerce.
• There is no minimum capital requirement (but in practice it is usual to have US$100 as capital).
• A stichting does not have members or shareholders
• A stichting is managed by one or more directors who do not share in the profits or assets and who can be individuals or corporations; at least one director must be resident in the Netherlands Antilles.
• Books of accounts must be kept but do not require auditing.
• The identity of beneficiaries or holders of certificates of participation need not be disclosed.
• A stichting may transfer its seat into and out of the Netherlands Antilles provided that the other jurisdiction concerned has suitable legislation (in practice this means that the other jurisdiction is a civil code jurisdiction, which is somewhat limiting since the bulk of offshore jurisdictions apply common law).
Under the National Ordinance on Profit Tax 1940, the profits of a stichting created for other than charitable purposes are treated in the same way as those of an NV, see Offshore Legal and Tax Regimes.
