Frequently Asked Questions, with clear answers.

What exactly is a holding company?

A holding company is a conglomerate of companies in which one company (the parent company) owns all or part of the shares or equity interests in other companies, in most cases exercising control over all of its companies or subsidiaries.

The term “holding company” comes from the English verb “hold,” meaning “to possess.” This type of company has become well-established in Spain in recent years as the best legal and organizational structure for business growth, as it offers many legal, organizational, and tax advantages.

What types are there?

In the commercial context, a holding company can be classified as a “Pure Holding Company” when that company solely holds the shares and equity interests of its subsidiaries and engages exclusively in the acquisition, formation, sale, or financing of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies.

There is also the concept of a “Mixed Holding Company,” in which, in addition to the functions of a Pure Holding Company, the parent company provides management and administrative services to its subsidiaries, as well as various other services, such as administrative, financial, and accounting services.

What are the benefits?

The main advantages in the tax and legal spheres lie in the exemption of dividends paid by subsidiaries to the parent company, which can then allocate those funds to investments or to finance other companies without incurring financial costs, as well as an exemption from capital gains tax on the sale of shares or subsidiaries by the holding company, facilitating generational succession, an exemption from net worth tax for all companies, an exemption from inheritance and gift tax for the conglomerate, and many more benefits that you can find in our catalog.

Can it be done for free?

These types of reorganizations can be carried out through a special tax deferral regime provided for in Articles 76 through 89 of Chapter VII of Title VII of Law 27/2014, of November 27, on Corporate Income Tax. To benefit from a tax-neutral reorganization, a tax report must be prepared to validate the transaction.
