Holding Companies

When considering an investment into a country, consideration has to be given to the taxation received in the form of dividends, interest and royalties, as well as any possible capital gains tax that might arise on the disposal of such an investment. Further consideration has to be extended to tax deferral issues and utilisation of losses. Many European Union member states offer Holding Company regimes that are generally favourable with regards to the treatment of foreign sourced income and most have extensive double taxation treaty agreements.
