This calculator models pure dividend flow structures where profits are taxed at the operating company level, then distributed as dividends to the Swiss holding company. Switzerland's participation exemption eliminates the second layer of tax.
Why some structures show minimal savings: For jurisdictions like UK, Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium with moderate-to-high corporate tax rates (20-30%), a simple holding structure doesn't reduce the operating company's tax burden.
Where real optimization occurs: Substantial tax savings for these jurisdictions come from IP licensing structures, management fee arrangements, and transfer pricing strategies that shift profit to Switzerland's lower tax environment (12-15%). Switch to "IP Licensing + Management" mode above to see the real savings potential.
