Rosanne Van Gael

Practice Areas

With the aim of achieving sustainable asset structuring for family entrepreneurs, Rosanne, as a tax lawyer, focuses on advising on the (re)structuring of their activities and their investments—both business and personal—with a view to a tax-efficient exit from their company (group) and to their successors.

In doing so, she focuses on:

- a multidisciplinary approach;

- not only the optimal holding structure of the family group in terms of income tax, but also on, among other things, gift and inheritance tax, real estate taxation, the proper functioning and rationalization of the group structure;

- practical solutions, in consultation with the entrepreneur, while closely monitoring evolving trends in both the client’s specific situation and relevant legislation and case law.

Such analyses are not limited to Belgian territory, nor to entrepreneurs in the strict sense: Rosanne is also happy to assist you with foreign investments, foreign asset structurings, emigration, and the like.

Some of her areas of expertise include:

- real estate transfers from the company to one’s private estate;

- the dismantling of corporate structures;

- the emigration/immigration of the entrepreneur and the structuring of his assets and activities;

- investments in foreign real estate;

- the Belgian cayman tax.
