Charitable or private-benefit
foundation — roughly
Roughly: charitable = public purpose, private-benefit = private circle. Not agent flow, not tax advice. Recognition by authority/adviser.
Not tax advice. Exit tax depends on the departure country — a Liechtenstein seat does not automatically avoid it. Foundations are not a tax-avoidance story. Binding figures: Liechtenstein tax authority (LLV) and a tax adviser.
Not this flow
LVC remains Digihub default.
Foundation type does not change avoidance ban.
Impact programme ≠ charitable foundation.

Practice & limits (deepened)
Compliant taxes: register, file, deadlines — no tax-haven romance. This preview invents no percentage rates; LLV and a tax adviser are binding sources. Register entry often helps pickup; it does not replace a return.
Exit tax depends on the leaving country. An LI seat does not erase it automatically. A foundation above the operating company can hold purpose and succession — it is not an avoidance machine. Double-tax and permanent-establishment questions are case-specific.
Digihub starts LVC form; tax structure is advice. See compliant-taxes, exit-tax, foundation and startup-tax pages.
Specifically on «Charitable or private-benefit foundation — roughly?»: Roughly: charitable serves a public purpose, private-benefit a private circle. Neither is this agent flow, and this is not tax advice. Recognition and effect are for the authority or an adviser. No rates, no “charitable = automatically tax-free”. This deepening is preview orientation — not legal or tax advice. Verify against AJU, gesetze.li and advisers. Entries: found, LVC, guides.
