Why SOPARFI
Luxembourg has built the ideal framework for holding companies. Here is why major groups and wealthy families choose the SOPARFI.
Access to the parent-subsidiary directive (exemption on intra-EU dividends), European passport, no questions about the legitimacy of the structure.
Luxembourg has signed treaties with almost every country. Reduces or eliminates withholding taxes on dividends, interest, and royalties.
Unlike BVI or Cayman, Luxembourg is an OECD country and G20 member. No reputational risk, accepted everywhere.
Full exemption on dividends received and capital gains on disposal if: participation >10% or >€1.2M, held >12 months. Virtually tax-exempt in practice.
Top-tier banks (BIL, Banque de Luxembourg, BGL BNP), tax lawyers, Big 4 auditors, professional directors.
Modern corporate law, shareholder protection, specialized courts, legal certainty. Less "exotic" than offshore jurisdictions.
Focus
Warning: The parent-subsidiary regime requires proper structuring and rigorous documentation. We guide you to ensure eligibility.
