What you need to know about holding companies

Understanding the mechanics to make the right wealth decisions.

1

Parent-subsidiary regime: 95% exemption

When your operating company pays dividends to your holding, only 5% of those dividends are taxable under corporate tax (parent-subsidiary regime). A massive capitalisation lever.

  • Corporate tax on only 5% of dividends received
  • 15% corporate tax up to €42,500 profit
  • Accumulated capital quickly reinvestable
2

Leverage and reinvestment

The holding becomes an investment arm: profits from your activities are reinvested in property, SCPIs, Private Equity through the corporate structure.

  • Property purchase via SCI owned by holding
  • SCPI investment under corporate tax
  • Private Equity via eligible corporate funds
3

Optimised inheritance planning

The holding is a powerful inheritance tool: Dutreil pact for shares, contribution-sale, ownership dismemberment to transfer at reduced cost.

  • Dutreil pact: 75% reduction on taxable value
  • Sale of holding shares
  • Dismemberment: transfer bare ownership

A holding must be anticipated and well managed

A holding must be created at the right time and for the right reasons. A structure that is too early or poorly sized generates unnecessary costs (accountant, legal, compliance). A holding is relevant from a certain level of recurring profits and when the inheritance objective is clearly defined. Véloci coordinates the analysis with your accountant and notary.
