Second-tier subsidiary

Tax Glossary Definition

Second-tier subsidiary

A second-tier subsidiary refers to a company that is indirectly controlled by a parent organization through another intermediate subsidiary. In this structure, the ultimate parent company exercises control over the second-tier subsidiary via its ownership of the first-tier subsidiary, which in turn holds a controlling interest in the lower-tier entity.

Example: If Company A owns Company B, and Company B owns Company C, then Company C is considered a second-tier subsidiary of Company A, as the control flows indirectly through Company B.
