The better choice depends on your stakes, your holding period and who owns the holding. The decider page goes through it row by row.
A holding that exists only on paper loses its benefits
The exemptions, treaty rates and EU directives only apply if the holding has a real role: a local director who decides, board meetings in the country and records that show it.
We build this in from day one, which costs far less than rebuilding the structure after a tax audit.

How much does an EU holding cost?+
The fee depends on the country, the number of subsidiaries and the director and office you need. We send a fixed quote after a short call, and it does not change once we start.
Is the holding tax-exempt?+
No. It is an ordinary taxpayer. Qualifying dividends and gains on selling subsidiaries are exempt when the conditions are met.
Can I move my existing companies into the holding?+
Yes. Depending on where you live, the transfer can trigger tax, so we check it before the shares are moved.
Do I need a local director?+
The law does not require one, but the exemptions depend on the holding being managed where it is based. For most holdings we recommend one.
Can you set up a holding if I live in Russia?+
EU sanctions prevent us from acting for companies established in Russia. For individuals, we check each case against the current sanctions rules before we start.
