Abstract
A Netherlands Antilles Private Foundation is a very flexible solution for asset protection and privacy purposes. It can be easily implemented in international holding structures through the Netherlands Antilles and is very suitable for family asset protection. By means of a letter of wishes or provisions in the articles of incorporation, the settlor of the Private Foundation may appoint the beneficiaries of the Private Foundation. A Private Foundation structure should not trigger negative tax consequences in the Netherlands Antilles, even with respect to future distributions. This especially applies to international holding structures set up for privacy or asset protection purposes. Full text.
