      What is Participation Exemption? Participation exemption is a tax rule used in many countries that allows companies to avoid being taxed twice on profits received from their subsidiaries or shareholdings. In simple terms: ➡️ If a company owns shares in another company and receives dividends or sells those shares at a gain, those profits may be exempt from corporate tax. Why does it exist? Without participation exemption, the same profit could be taxed multiple times: The subsidiary earns profit → taxed once. The subsidiary pays dividends to the parent company → taxed again by the parent. If the parent sells its shares → the capital gain could be taxed again. Participation exemption prevents this double or triple taxation. Typical Requirements These depend on the country, but often include: Minimum ownership percentage (e.g., at least 5–10% of the subsidiary’s shares). Minimum holding period (e.g., at least 6 months or 1 year). The subsidiary cannot be a tax haven or involved in passive income abuse. The income must come from equity participation, not loans.
