Conditions to qualify for holding status
Companies whose main statutory purpose is to manage their partecipations on a long-term basis and which have no commercial activity in Switzerland, benefit from the cantonal holding status when these partecipations or their returns represent at least two thirds of total assets or revenues. The capital benefits that come from participations also form part of the income from partecipations.

The term “Holding” refers to those companies whose main object is the management of partecipations in other companies.
