Service Overview
Service Overview
Overseas Holding Company / Global HQ
A holding company – its location, shared functions and even IP holding – is critical to business success. How it is established can change the entire group’s tax strategy, fund flows and governance. Our in-house teams and global partners help to advise you.
Why It Matters
A strategically placed HQ drives the group's effective tax strategy, cash efficiency, its capital structure, dividend policy and treaty access. A flawed initial design compounds into restructuring cost and tax risk — and the global minimum tax under BEPS 2.0 is now forcing a fresh look at existing structures.
Our Principles
Operating Principles
We read your group structure and growth plan to weigh where the holding company sits and which functions it carries. Looking at tax, cash flow, governance and regulation together, we propose a holding structure that fits the group — and assess what the global minimum tax does to your existing one.
