Don’t let the handover cost the company.<\/em><\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Transferring a well-planned family business can result in a reduction of up to 95% in inheritance and gift taxes. Doing so without meeting the necessary requirements may force you to sell the business or cause a rift within the family. We work with you to plan the succession: protocol, taxation, and governance. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Challenge<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The future of the company\u2014 without improvisation.<\/em><\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The 95% reduction in the Inheritance and Gift Tax is not automatic. It requires that the entity engage in actual economic activity\u2014not merely the ownership of assets\u2014a minimum ownership stake by the family group, paid management functions, and the retention of the acquired assets for the statutory period. Any oversight could result in the loss of the entire benefit. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The most costly mistake is leaving it until the last minute. When the handover takes place without a formal process, without a holding company, and without the necessary arrangements in place, the tax authorities may force the sale of the business or create conflict among the heirs. Planning ahead is what turns a succession into an orderly transition.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
