How do investment companies work in Portugal? [Reddit]

Answer

Investment companies allow you to channel your capital in an organised way and, when they are managed and taxed correctly, they can benefit from a more favourable tax regime. They are a completely legal way to maintain control of your assets and give them more professional and efficient management. That favourable regime is not obtained on its own: it depends on the company being properly set up, up to date with its obligations and declared transparently. The advantage is consolidated through continuous management, because leaving the structure unmaintained causes it to lose its benefits. Filnet guides you with local advisers in Spanish who are experts in asset structures, who analyse your specific case and choose the most appropriate legal structure for your investments. They keep all accounting and tax management up to date within the law so that you have security, control and peace of mind over your assets. Doing it in Portugal has a setup cost from , a timeframe of 4-8 weeks and a corporate tax rate of IRC 21%.
