How does business succession work within family businesses for tax purposes?

Business succession within family businesses involves many tax issues. For example, the business succession arrangement (BOR) can be used to reduce taxation when transferring a business. This arrangement often offers partial exemption from gift and inheritance tax. Successful business succession requires consideration of issues such as valuation of the business, family involvement and continuity of the business. Tax and legal planning are crucial to avoid unnecessary tax burdens.

Top executives and expats can benefit from favorable tax schemes such as the 30% expatriate scheme. This scheme allows expats to receive 30% of their salary tax-free, giving them a more attractive net salary. For top executives, bonuses and stock options can be distributed in tax-advantaged ways.
