offshore? The Dutch sandwich

Hello everyone. Yesterday

various media published the news that the holding "New Rumasa" , who had just tried to ask the creditors on a voluntary basis for several of his companies representative could be controlled from Caribbean countries considered tax havens .

A tax haven is only a state that provides a special tax regime favorable to natural or legal persons domiciled nonresidents to the same legal effects. In general, these tax benefits consist of a total or partial exemption of the main taxes, primarily the Company and the dividend payment in the form .

not be surprised, some of the leading companies in this country rely on these havens to reorganize its business in a more beneficial regarding payment of taxes or referred back to their top executives; technically not illegal but is a so-called "tax avoidance" , ie, use low tax fiscal scenarios (offshore ) allowed by international law and widely used in most of the world. The choice of these structures must be considered case by case and that there are countries that are considered tax havens for individuals, others serve only to legal entities and some individuals may respond to the needs of both. To design the scenario is first necessary to determine the extent implication that the person wants to take (since it is not open an account and return to Spain ...), where is the natural or legal person who wants to create structure and, finally, where is expected yields occur as a result we want benefit.

in the news media related to most companies Ruiz Mateos to the tax haven of the Netherlands Antilles . Probably, if true, would be speaking of what is known as offshore tax "The Dutch sandwich" that simplifying a lot, is that in Holland, for certain non-resident companies there are various scenarios of low taxation. One of the advantages of Holland is one of the few countries in the world, assisted by a Dutch lawyer, you may meet with the tax authorities, define our business model and negotiating and writing capture the tax effect will suffer if we do we really committed to doing.

The Dutch Sandwich all dividends generated by the activity will be paid or transferred by the Dutch Society (which is really just a holding company) to its parent in the Netherlands Antilles, being the cost the previously negotiated and signed in any case not more than 3%. The scenario is as follows: a non-resident transactions that generate capital gains that, after payment of income taxes in Holland, go via dividend to society of the Netherlands Antilles, which in turn, via dividends or salary, pay to the member. If we have a minimal tax knowledge is difficult to compare this scenario with the typical SME supporting a reward when the shareholder and conclude that the gain can be exponential.

As I said this is not a criminal or tax since it is perfectly legal ... if done right.

Greetings!
