Holding Structures

Swiss Holding Structures

Holding structures remain a pillar of the Swiss economy and have survived significant changes that were made to the corporate tax law in recent years. The changes affected in principal aspects of the corporate tax regime and the introduction of a much stricter regulatory framework. Holding companies, however, remain an important feature of the corporate community in Switzerland and benefit from a deep-rooted sense of legal security and rule of law. The international holding companies based in Switzerland enjoy the benefits of financially attractive Double Tax Treaties (DTTs).
