Tax planning

In particular also for the next generation or with regard to an impending movement of residence, tax planning in advance is well-advised (key word: discretionary structuring of foundation by-laws). As a result of the variety of and constant changes to foreign tax legislation, and in order to find the best possible solution for the client and the client’s circumstances, cooperation with a tax advisor specialising in the jurisdiction in question is certainly necessary in this context.

If required, you will benefit from our large network of domestic and foreign experts.

Company succession

Our experience shows that frictionless company succession requires careful planning. In particular where there are several descendants and not all of them want to take part in the family enterprise, considering a foundation or establishment may be advisable. Contributing a family enterprise in a foundation or an establishment is often a good solution to succession problems. For example, it can be laid down in the articles that the family enterprise must not be sold, which would not be possible if the shares in the family enterprise were passed on to the descendants directly. Furthermore, the structure’s bodies may take care of the professional direction of the enterprise on the management side by supervising the competent persons, while the financial wishes of descendants may be handled entirely separately from the management question through the distribution of profits.

We will be happy to assist you in finding the best possible solution for you, working together with interdisciplinary external experts in Liechtenstein and abroad.
