It should therefore not affect the functioning of family offices if the family&#8217;s tax residence is different from the family office tax office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C.<\/strong> <em>Multi-Family Offices<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family Offices should serve more wealthy families at the same time. Their clientele should include families of five generations (e.g., parents, grandchildren, children, great-grandchildren, tri-parents). In this way, the wider the activity of a Family Office, the greater the amount of operating costs it will be able to bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D.<\/strong> <em>Definition of the term &#8216;Minimum Expenditure&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Family Offices to be more competitive, the minimum annual family office spending amount must start at $250,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>E. <\/strong><em>Tax Insurance<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be made clear that the activities of the Family Office will not be the administration of the foreign companies of the client family, which would otherwise create a tax domino for their total property.
