Tax Planning
Decided in advance, not repaired afterwards
Swiss tax rewards planning. We advise companies, their owners and private clients on how a structure, a move or a transaction will actually be taxed — federally, at cantonal level in Geneva and Vaud, and across borders.
What we do
01
Corporate tax
- Corporate income and capital tax returns
- Choice of legal form, group structure and financing
- Participation relief, loss carry-forwards and reorganisations
- Transfer pricing documentation and intra-group agreements
02
Private clients & executives
- Personal income and wealth tax returns
- Equity, bonus and pension-buyback planning for executives
- Lump-sum taxation and residence questions
- Real estate, gift and inheritance tax
03
Cross-border & relocation
- Double tax treaty analysis and withholding tax reclaims
- Arrival in and departure from Switzerland
- Permanent establishment and remote-work exposure
- Coordination with advisers in your other jurisdictions
04
Rulings & authorities
- Advance tax rulings with the cantonal administrations
- Responses to enquiries, reassessments and objections
- Voluntary disclosure and regularisation
- Representation during tax audits
How we work
We say plainly what is certain, what is arguable and what is not worth doing. Where an answer needs the tax administration's confirmation, we go and get it in writing.
