INVESTING ACROSS SPAIN.
THE SPECIAL ETVE REGIME.

The increasingly strict controls over jurisdictions traditionally used in estate and business planning schemes, the limitations that extend to the low taxation of offshore profits, leads companies to rethink the organization of their holding structures through jurisdictions that offer legal certainty and tax efficiency. Spain, due to its excellent network of double taxation treaties, offers a real alternative for the relocation of holding companies of business groups or as a jurisdiction to be considered in an estate planning structure with a Latin American component. The tax regime for Foreign Securities Holding Entities (ETVE) is now a figure to be considered in international corporate restructuring schemes.
The special ETVE tax regime was introduced in Spain in 1995 to attract foreign investment with benefits similar to those established in other jurisdictions, such as Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
The advantage of this special tax regime is that income from (i) the distribution of dividends by investees and (ii) capital gains on the transfer of holdings in non-resident entities is exempt in Spain, provided that certain requirements are met.

The flow of gross investment channelled through companies under ETVE regime was €2,411,819.96 The flow of gross investment channelled through companies that were not under the ETVE regime was €22,376,636.41.
