The main purpose of forest savings companies is to acquire and manage forest assets. At least 60% of their assets consist of woodland or forests, shares in forestry groupings or companies whose sole purpose is to hold woodland and forests, and cash or cash equivalents.
The woods and forests held by these companies must be managed in accordance with an approved simple management plan.
Shares in forest savings companies are treated in the same way as interest shares held in a forestry group for the purposes of tax law, with the exception of article 976 of the General Tax Code.
