Features: The holding company is an enterprise organizational form that maximizes the ownership and operation of a company in the evolution of corporate legal systems. With the complexity and internationalization of business activities, the use of holding company models to achieve various tax, operational, financial, and organizational purposes has become a trend in the current transformation of public institutions. In Taiwan, there are few discussions on holding companies in academic and practical contexts, with most attention focused on the Financial Holding Company Law related to the recent liberalization of cross-industry financial activities. The financial holding company is not only a special form of holding company but also has specific characteristics in the legal discussion of holding companies. This book, on the part of holding companies, introduces the definition and types of holding companies, emphasizes the clarification of their concepts, and analyzes the reasons, benefits, and potential drawbacks of establishing holding companies, aiming to provide an empirical basis for the construction of relevant legal systems. The book also explores special forms of holding companies, including overseas holding companies, public holding companies, and related legal and regulatory issues.
