Tax experts at a large international firm in Sweden now support the addition of the Netherlands Antilles to the long list of jurisdictions to which dividends may flow from Sweden free from taxation, provided that certain circumstances apply. This is the latest positive development in the ever-increasing attractiveness of the Swedish holding company. The bridge provides for the use of highly efficient structures through Sweden and the Netherlands Antilles. |

Classically, a client holds investments, possibly as a passive portfolio or an active business, and would like to repatriate dividends from these investments to a specific jurisdiction. However, the direct route to this jurisdiction is often fraught with withholding tax burdens applied in the linked countries in between.
This new link through Sweden and the Netherlands Antilles provides the client a highly efficient means for routing these dividends from over 80 countries through the Netherlands Antilles and beyond, potentially free from taxation from the production point to the end location (be it an individual or a corporate body).
