Thank god I found this forum and and also thank you in advance for taking the time
to read this thread.
I am in desperate need of a holding company for my future companies.
I do not want any pensions or salaries (perhaps occasional dividends), I simply
want to let the majority of the capital rest in the holding company until the day I decide to move to
a low-tax country and withdraw the capital as dividends, or invest in other businesses.
The subsidiary companies, owned by the holding company, will be located in a Sweden (working "digitally") with
high taxes and a efficient tax authorities so I definitely want to conduct myself by the book.
Anonymity is not necessary. The holding company will also have permanent establishment in Sweden, that is something
I do not want to avoid (simply want to be able to move in future and then reap the benefits).
I have spent countless of hours looking at different options trying to find the best one
but right now I just want to pull my hair out.
Even though Sweden has a tax treaty with Estonia, the Estonian 20% tax on dividends paid to non-resident is
considered as corporate tax in Sweden (so 20% tax in Estonia, then dividends tax in Sweden) so that is not a viable option.
Belize and Seychelles IBC seem very attractive (low accounting requirements, no taxes) but (it seems) hard to get a good bank
account created. Plus they are viewed by many as "sketchy locations" by nature and could perhaps thus cause
future issues.
Cyprus seems viable but very expensive so I would rather try find a better cheaper alternative.
What would you guys recommend in my situation? I just want a simple easy-to-maintain holding company
that I can funnel my company money to and store for future.
