Whilst the voluntary liquidation process in Luxembourg is
well-structured, Head of Corporate Services, Rémy Cornet
explains how it needs to be followed carefully.
Funds in Luxembourg own and invest in companies in a vast range
of sectors, from property to finance and IP rights, and the
attraction of the jurisdiction as a place to domicile their assets
is understandable, especially given its favourable operating
environment – with a multilingual workforce, overtly
business-oriented government, and cross-border financial
expertise.
What makes Luxembourg a popular location for processing
voluntary liquidations?
Luxembourg also offers compelling structures. Its special
purpose vehicles (SPVs), for example, have proven hugely popular
with multinational private equity and real estate groups, offering
huge potential for tax optimisation when they come to sell their
assets for capital gains.
