The New Era of Taxation
15 Sep - 16 Sep 2022
Session information
Holding companies: their future use in acquisition structures, will they survive the changes under discussion?
Thursday 15 September (0945 - 1115)
Description
The jury of public scrutiny has determined that holding companies are evil and mischievous; and, as in the inquisition, they must be burned on the stake! However, holding companies are essential for business transactions. They are required as tools for business to undertake acquisitions, implement financing vehicles, centralise regional management functions and the like. Given that said structures have also been used as mechanisms for treaty shopping and tax reduction, our panel will analyse their legitimacy prospects for survival and use in the new global tax environment.
