Global Holding Company Tax & Structuring
Budget: £200 – £400 GBP
Description:
We are in the early stages of establishing a global business operation and are seeking an experienced Tax Specialist or International Business Consultant with expertise in international corporate structuring, tax efficiency, and licensing agreements. Our business model involves securing exclusive rights from several factories in the Middle East, Africa, and Turkey to sell FMCG products. We aim to leverage our contacts in Europe for distribution while ensuring protection and flexibility in our operations.
Key Points:
Business Model: Our strategy includes setting up a holding company to sign exclusive rights with various factories for their products. We then plan to establish subsidiary companies in different European countries (e.g., Holland, Germany) in partnership with local contacts who have significant market networks. These subsidiaries will receive licensing rights from our holding company to sell specific products within their markets.
Ownership Structure: In each country, ownership will be shared between us and the local partner to facilitate market penetration while maintaining control over the licensing agreements.
Objectives:
Efficiency and Simplicity: Advice on whether our proposed business structure is the most efficient and straightforward method for achieving our goals.
Holding Company Location: Guidance on the optimal jurisdiction for establishing our holding company, considering tax implications and operational efficiency. We are currently considering the UK but are open to suggestions.
Tax Considerations: Insights into the tax implications of our structure, especially regarding the flow of profits between the holding company and its subsidiaries, as well as the potential benefits of establishing companies in tax-efficient jurisdictions (e.g., Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai).
Expansion to the UK Market: Strategies for selling our products in the UK market, potentially through a tax-efficient jurisdiction.
Requirements:
Proven experience in international tax law, corporate structuring, and cross-border transactions.
Familiarity with FMCG distribution and licensing agreements.
Knowledge of tax-efficient jurisdictions and their applicability to European markets.
Deliverables:
Guidance to the most efficient corporate structure for our business model.
Recommendations for the establishment of our holding company and subsidiaries.
An analysis of tax implications and strategies for minimizing tax liabilities.
Guidance on expanding our distribution network to the UK and other potential markets from a structure point of view.
