(中文) 公司股份过户给妻子孩子不容易！代持后果如何了？

王先生年事已高，想到幸苦打拼的餐饮集团过户给他的儿子。
2015年1月1日期施行的《股权转让个人所得税管理办法（试行）》是针对个人所得中的股票转让的征税办法。 当赠予人所赠予的股权价值远高于原值时，税务部门会认定赠予人取得“股权转让收入”。

看到这个消息后把他吓到了！他的资金都押在公司业务发展上了，哪有公司增值的20％来纳税啊！这几年，他不断的花资金买店铺；为了控制质量，建设中央厨房，这些估值都有透明的市场价值的啊！

难道只能通过遗赠的方式避税吗？遗嘱很容易被挑战了！ 如果我女儿挑战遗嘱效力怎么办？关键是当时为了拿政策，还有30%股份找朋友代持啊！他到底有没有写遗嘱了？

你的眼光有多远，你的身影就有多高！通过以股权权益束转让或海外信托持股，尽量减少继承流程的干扰是资产保护的重要手段。 也就是为什么企业还没有很值钱的时候就应该开始规划。
