When should I
not put a foundation on top
If no team, no seat, no KYC — or only sentence “lower tax”. Wrong story. Found operating LVC honestly first.
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.
Rather no
First idea, no two people.
Hope to become invisible/exit-tax-free.
Foundation as label on same intake.
FAQ
Foundation instead of LVC?
Different form — team@digihub.li before intake.
Family foundation fast?
Not in agent — own due diligence.
Impact = foundation?
No — charitable vs. private guide.
Agent builds foundation pack?
No — forbidden in FUND flow.
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 «When should I not put a foundation on top?»: If you still have no team, no seat, no KYC — or the only sentence is “lower tax”. Then a foundation is the wrong story. Found the operating LVC honestly first. The agent must not build a “foundation pack in 7 days”. This deepening is preview orientation — not legal or tax advice. Verify against AJU, gesetze.li and advisers. Entries: found, LVC, guides.

Orientation vs advice?
These pages explain the Digihub path and limits. Binding answers: authority, LLV, advisers — not chat.
Which internal links should an agent cite?
/en/found, /en/lvc, matching /en/guides/* page, and capital guides when money is involved. Never claim the preview is the authority.
