17 May 2008 - Number of holding companies in Switzerland on the rise |
|
More international firms are setting up holding companies in Switzerland with the figures rising to 25% last year. Credit risk firm Dunn & bradstreet reports that 2,113 holding companies were set up in Switzerland in 2007. There are now 20,000 holding companies in Switzerland with foreign firms making up a larger proportion. Under Swiss law, cantons can exempt taxes on holding, mixed and management company profits earned abroad. In recent years in order to attract more foreign firms many cantons have taken more tax cutting measures with cantons such as Zug, Schwyz and Obwalden taking full advantage. Although some European countries complain that the tax breaks represent an unfair subsidy, Switzerland has denied the charges and is locked in a dispute with the European Commission over tax breaks. However, more international firms seem to benefit from the favourable tax regime. The Dunn & bradstreet report found that the holding company boom continues in Switzerland with 323 enterprises founded in the first two months of 2008.
