Dutch term or phrase: deelnemingsvrijstelling

In a list of topics discussed in a meeting with the local tax office:

De bespreking ging met name over de volgende punten:
1. de geclaimde deelnemingsvrijstelling
2. de verliezen van ABC die door XYZ worden gedragen
3. de transfer-pricing

I keep seeing "Substantial holding company", but don't see how that will fit into the context.

substantial shareholding exemption

Explanation:
Substantial Shareholding Exemption
• This important exemption covers shareholdings of 10% or more, and can also apply to joint-venture situations
• The shares must be held by another company as an investment, i.e. not as a dealing asset
• The disposal must occur on or after 1 April 2002
• If a gain arises on disposals, this will be exempt from tax, provided that certain conditions are met Conversely, a capital loss will not be recognised for tax purposes

Is it still Dunglish if the Australian government as passed the:

New International Tax Arrangements (Participation Exemption and Other Measures) Act 2004

http://www.ato.gov.au/taxprofessionals/content.asp?doc=/cont...

???

Some additional refs:

A corporate "SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDING EXEMPTION" was introduced on 1 April 2002 for holdings of 10% or more of the shares in another company (30% or more for shares held by a life assurance company's long-term insurance fund). This is effectively a form of UK PARTICIPATION EXEMPTION. Almost all of the corporation tax raised on chargeable gains is paid by life assurance companies taxed on the I minus E basis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_gains_tax

The 2001 budget contained some detailed measures to improve the ill-though-out onshore mixing rules contained in the Finance Act 2000, the promise of further consultation on the bigger issue of a possible PARTICIPATION EXEMPTION for income and capital gains, and the threat of a further tightening of the CFC (Controlled Foreign Corporation) rules. Indeed, enabling legislation in the 2002 Finance Act allows the British government to alter the tax treatment of controlled foreign companies in jurisdictions which are considered to allow 'harmful tax practices'.

From the UK websites of the Big Four:

UK groups have traditionally used an offshore holding company (HoldCo), typically in a participation exemption regime such as Luxembourg or the Netherlands

participation exemption for gains on shares

The reasons for the recipient not being liable to tax may vary, but include situations where the recipient benefits from a participation exemption in a country that operates an exemption system of double taxation relief.
