Holding companies can be particularly attractive for companies looking to trade overseas. By having a company located in a suitable holding company jurisdiction hold the shares in a variety of companies, it's possible to ensure that the profits are funnelled into a low tax, or tax advantageous environment.

In this book we look at why holding companies can be attractive and how you can obtain these benefits. We also look at where you should based your holding company to gain maximum tax benefits.

Structures such as the "Double Irish" and the "Dutch Sandwich" have gained press attention due to being used by various multinational groups to reduce their effective tax rate.
