About international tax structuring
How much can a German company save through international restructuring?
A German company with €2M revenue pays ~30% effective corporate tax. Restructured through an Irish or Cypriot holding, the effective rate falls to 10–12.5% — saving €350,000–€480,000 per year, net of substance costs.
Is international tax structuring legal?
Yes. Structuring through holding companies in low-tax jurisdictions is legal when built with genuine economic substance. Structures must comply with OECD BEPS rules, EU ATAD directives, and your home country's CFC legislation. Forma Flaga designs only substance-backed structures.
What is a holding company and how does it reduce taxes?
A holding company receives dividends from your operating entity. In jurisdictions with participation exemption (Cyprus, Ireland, Netherlands, Malta), those dividends arrive tax-free or near-zero. The holding retains profit at 5–12.5% — vs 25–30% at home. The saving is the rate spread × distributable profit.
Which jurisdiction is best for SaaS income?
Ireland (12.5%, or 6.25% with Knowledge Development Box for qualifying IP) is the leading choice for SaaS and IP-heavy companies. Cyprus (12.5% + participation exemption) is widely used for consulting and service businesses. Both require genuine local substance post-BEPS.
