1. Family Office
Family office services are designed to fulfil all essential needs that clients have in the jurisdictions in which we operate. These services imply operational, administrative, consulting and legal services. Family office is a must-have tool which helps clients to concentrate on the business itself and to leave time-consuming activities (day-to-day communication with banks, registry, tax authorities, accountants, partners, etc.) to professionals with vast experience and connections in this area. Such services include administrative, banking, legal, accounting, correspondence and consultation components.
2. Confidentiality
At the moment, thanks to the current Serbian law and the positive attitude of the banks, the Serbian legal system offers a special legal form that guarantees full identity protection to individuals and companies, without the risk of losing legal and factual control over such structures. Our in-house lawyers and external attorneys-at-law have been involved in the structuring of complex structures for HNWI for the last two decades. Those legal forms are fully supported by the local banks in compliance with the positive local, EU and other international laws, bylaws and procedures imposed on the banking sector, with guaranteed usage of full-scale banking services.
3. Asset Protection
Serbian endowment, another specific legal form, offers well-known benefits of Anglo-Saxon trust and Panamanian foundations, but without the need to appoint the external protectors. Founding capital of the endowment is not taxable and donations and gifts are taxed at the lowest tax rate in Serbia of 2.5%. The assets of the endowment are legally separated from the founders and beneficiaries, which means that such assets cannot be subject to court decisions, divorce procedures and similar risks. At the same time, in accordance with Serbian laws and internal documents, the assets can only be controlled by the persons designated by the founders and spent exclusively in favour of the beneficiaries. Such structure may also be used as a holding of domestic or companies registered abroad, given that dividend payouts are not subject to taxation either.
4. Tax Consultation
