Holding Company
The choice of location of a holding company is a strategic decision when thinking about structuring any international business, especially if the desire to minimise tax and to protect the assets held is key.
A holding company can be defined as a company established for the sole or majority purpose of holding shares in a group’s subsidiary companies incorporated in countries in which the group is engaged in business activities.
The holding company receives the dividends paid by those subsidiaries and uses them to declare a dividend to the ultimate parent.
Ideally, the jurisdiction chosen should fulfil certain criteria to render it an attractive place to form a holding company, including the following:
- Recognised stable legal system
- Double tax treaty network, thereby minimising withholding taxes on dividends
received - Dividend income exempt from taxation
- No capital gains tax on the disposal of subsidiaries
- No withholding taxes on distributions from the holding company to its parent or
shareholders - No capital gains tax on profits arising from the sale of shares in the holding company
by non-resident shareholders - No capital duties on share capital
- No minimum paid-up share capital
- No restrictions on the movement of capital
