The SOPARFI is a Luxembourg tax measure business corporations may benefit from (joint-stock or limited-liability companies, fore example).

Its purpose is to hold shares in other companies.

Subject to certain conditions, the benefits of a SOPARFI are:

  • Exemption from Luxembourg’s income tax on dividends received from subsidiary companies
  • Exemption of capital gains from the sale of subsidiary companies
  • The SOPARFI is covered by treaties to avoid double taxation as regards tax withholdings on subsidiary companies.
