Täytäryhtiöjärjestelyjä

Täytäryhtiöjärjestelyjä is a Finnish term describing arrangements within a corporate group that involve subsidiary companies to structure ownership, operations and financing. Such arrangements are used to organize risk, governance and resource allocation across the group, often with a view to clarity in asset ownership, liability isolation, or project-specific purposes.

Typical structures include holding companies that own other subsidiaries, special purpose vehicles (SPVs) created for specific projects or ventures, distribution or service subsidiaries that centralize functions, and licensing or IP subsidiaries that hold intangible assets. Täytäryhtiöjärjestelyjä can also involve financing subsidiaries used to arrange funding for group operations.

Motivations for these arrangements include risk management through liability isolation, tax planning and cash management efficiency, regulatory or contractual requirements, and operational consolidation (for example, centralizing IP, procurement or management services). They may also facilitate cross-border activity by separating activities in different jurisdictions.

Legal and regulatory considerations are central to täytäryhtiöjärjestelyjä. In Finland, corporate law, tax law and international tax rules (such as transfer pricing and controlled foreign company rules) influence how these arrangements must be structured and documented. Substance requirements, intercompany pricing, reporting obligations, and compliance with anti-avoidance rules are important to monitor. Competition law considerations may apply if the group structure affects market dynamics.

Implementation typically involves careful planning, due diligence, drafting of intercompany agreements, governance arrangements, and ongoing compliance and reporting. Clear documentation of purposes, ownership, and transfer pricing is essential to maintain transparency and align with regulatory expectations.
