For example, the wife, husband and children are equal owners of several companies.<\/p>\n<p>However, to create a holding company and benefit from its advantages, the corporate structure would have to change. In the case we have cited before, for example, the family would own a holding or parent company, which is, in turn, the owner of several companies.<\/p>\n<p>Based on what is regulated by the <strong>Corporate Tax Law<\/strong>, a <em><strong>holding company<\/strong><\/em> is understood to be one that meets the following <b>conditions&lt;\/b &gt;:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1.- That it has its legal personality.<\/p>\n<p>2.- It is subject to and not exempt from Corporate Tax.<\/p>\n<p>3.- It has a participation of at least 75% of the share capital and the majority of the voting rights of another or other entities.<\/p>\n<p>4.- Participation and voting rights are maintained during the tax period.<\/p>\n<p>5.- That it does not depend on another who may be dominant.<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of <em>holding<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>corporate structures<br \/>\nA <em><strong>holding<\/strong><\/em> can be defined as a <b>form of organization of a company by which a company owns all or the majority of the shares of another company to have it under control <\/b>. For example, if you have a restaurant and want to diversify your activity, you may consider opening a delicatessen or a cocktail bar. In that case, you can create a company for each line of business that depends on a parent company of which you are the owner.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we are going to analyze some <b>advantages<\/b> of <em>holding<\/em> type corporate structures:<\/p>\n<p><b>Tax advantages<\/b>. This is, without a doubt, one of the biggest attractions. It is most advisable that you consult with your tax advisor about the taxation of the various options in your case. In general, we can highlight the following tax advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>The losses of a company can be offset against the profits of another<\/b> of the companies that are part of the holding company during the same fiscal period.<\/li>\n<li>Holding-type corporate structures <b>do not have an obligation to provide information and documentation<\/b> since they are subject to the Tax Consolidation Regime.<\/li>\n<li><b>Reductions in <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/etl-ilia.es\/en\/wealth-tax-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b> Wealth Tax<\/b><\/a><b>and Inheritance and Donation Tax.<\/b> Taxation is reduced, according to each Autonomous Community, on possession and transmission \u201cinter vivos\u201d and \u201cmortis causa\u201d. Of the holding company&#8217;s shares to descendants.<\/li>\n<li><b>VAT.<\/b> The usual thing is that the <em>holding company<\/em> invoices VAT for the general services it provides to the group companies, which may be deducted from said VAT depending on the cases. For these cases, you should consult with your trusted tax advisor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Commercial advantages<\/b>. In general, a <em>holding<\/em> type corporate structure will allow for a strategic vision of the group. It will also provide a solid corporate image, favouring customer relations and attracting business.<\/p>\n<h2>Disadvantages of <em>holding-type corporate structures<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>As for the <b>disadvantages<\/b>, we can highlight the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Danger of becoming a monopoly.<\/b> The company grows and attracts business in various areas related to the activity of the parent company, but there is a danger of it becoming a monopoly and controlling the market.<\/li>\n<li><b>Need a detailed study of each case.<\/b> A <em>holding<\/em> type structure may be appropriate for a specific case and may not have the same benefits for another case. For this reason, as we said before, a <strong>tax study<\/strong> by your personal <strong>tax advisor<\/strong> is important.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column fusion-animated small-column\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:5px;--awb-padding-right:10px;--awb-padding-left:10px;--awb-overflow:hidden;--awb-bg-color:#f9f9f9;--awb-bg-color-hover:#f9f9f9;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#dbdbdb;--awb-border-top:1px;--awb-border-right:1px;--awb-border-bottom:1px;--awb-border-left:1px;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-border-radius:3px 3px 3px 3px;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-animationType=\"fadeInUp\" data-animationDuration=\"0.4\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><script data-b24-form=\"click\/30\/i5k01s\" data-skip-moving=\"true\">\n        (function(w,d,u){\n                var s=d.createElement('script');s.async=true;s.src=u+'?'+(Date.now()\/180000|0);\n                var h=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];h.parentNode.insertBefore(s,h);\n        })(window,document,'https:\/\/cdn.bitrix24.es\/b16501187\/crm\/form\/loader_30.js');\n<\/script><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p class=\"intro\" style=\"text-align: center;\">If you have questions about this type of corporate structures, consult our team of <strong>tax advisors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper fusion-aligncenter\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button-border-radius-top-left:4px;--button-border-radius-top-right:4px;--button-border-radius-bottom-right:4px;--button-border-radius-bottom-left:4px;\" target=\"_self\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">SEND ENQUIRY<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>fusion_global=\u201d11714\u2033]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10202,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[112],"tags":[75,510,508],"class_list":["post-18802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company-formation","tag-companies","tag-corporate-structure","tag-holding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
