Dedicated Fund
It is a solution that has been designed in Luxembourg and that results from the combination of the Portuguese legislation in force, with the Luxembourg legislation, allowing Portugal to offer its fiscal residents the best fiscal and protection solution in Europe. This solution is available to any citizen of the world who becomes a tax resident in Portugal.
The Dedicated Fund combines the advantages of an insurance and an investment fund. In an investment fund there is no taxation over different types of income generated by its assets (interests, capital gains, etc.). As a capitalization insurance investment, it benefits from special taxation conditions, over capital gains, at time of redemption, reaching 11,2 % of taxation, which contrasts with the 28% on traditional time deposits.
Furthermore, if the Dedicated Fund is also used for the transmission of assets between generations, within the actual fiscal framework, clients have the possibility of not paying taxes over wealth, during their entire life. The Dedicated Fund contracts, although with a Luxembourg origin, are registered in the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM) and the Portuguese Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisory Authority (ASF), complying with the European law.
