When direct shareholdings are no longer a given.
The recent reform of Belgium’s DBI (Definitief Belaste Inkomsten) rules has fundamentally changed the landscape for corporations. Whereas direct shareholdings used to be a standard solution, they are now subject to stricter ownership requirements and more complex accounting treatment.
DBI funds offer the key solution here. By pooling capital into specialized sub-funds, you can optimize the financial investments in your companywithout the operational burden of individual lines of business.
Entrepreneurs want their investments to align as closely as possible with the real economy and with entrepreneurship. At the same time, they do not want to be penalized for tax purposes. And yet, awareness of DBI funds has not yet taken hold sufficiently.
