Why integrate its SCI into a holding company in an international context?

Structure adapted to international investment

The holding of a real estate through an SCI fulfils objectives of management, transmission and heritage organisation. Where investments have an international dimension, the creation of a holding company can be an additional lever for structuring, allowing participation to be centralized, organising financial flows and supporting the development of a property asset located in several jurisdictions.

The interest of such an organisation does not arise solely from tax considerations. Holdings also provide a unified governance of investments, prepare new acquisitions and integrate property ownership into a broader international heritage strategy.

Organize a cross-border real estate heritage

The detention of buildings located in France and abroad raises questions that go beyond the SCI's sole tax regime. The partners' tax residence, financing arrangements, withholding tax at source, international tax treaties or the rules applicable to real estate income and capital gains must be assessed in a comprehensive manner.

In this context, holding is an organisational tool for ensuring the coherence of investments and facilitating their development, while taking into account the specific constraints of each State concerned. The structure must, however, be adapted to the nature of the assets held, the economic objectives pursued and the interactions between the various tax laws applicable.

Anticipating heritage developments

A holding–SCI structure is generally designed to support the long-term development of heritage. The acquisition of new assets abroad, the arrival of investors, the transfer of family assets or the transfer of tax residence of associates may alter the legal and tax consequences of the organization initially chosen.

A reflection carried out at the outset of the structure allows us to anticipate these developments, to limit the risks of double taxation and to ensure the consistency of the heritage organisation with regard to international tax treaties and the rules applicable in the different jurisdictions.

Expertise in international heritage structure

The firm supports managers, investors and families in structuring SCI integrated into holding companies with an international dimension. Its intervention covers the creation and reorganization of heritage groups, cross-border real estate investments, international mobility projects and the application of tax treaties to income and assets held in France and abroad.

Each structure is developed with a logic of legal certainty, heritage coherence and anticipation of international tax issues.
