After Mr. B. and his wife had moved in, we came to ask them what it was like
to be in Switzerland: Mr. and Mrs. B. visited many places in their
search for the ideal country to retire in: <<We look at countries in much the same
way as we look at properties. What facilities do you get for the
rent? You don’t simply seek the lowest rent when looking for a suitable
property but rather seek a property whose rent offers good value.
For countries, the rent is, of course, tax. We visited many countries
before deciding on Switzerland. My wife and I went to Monaco, Andorra,
Campione, the Bahamas and even the Seychelles. Even though, in most
of these places, you don't pay any taxes, we felt that they did
not offer good value when our own requirements for social and cultural
facilities were considered.>>

How does it feel to be in Switzerland for good?
Well, we already feel well-accepted and happy with our situation. Our local
environment enjoys a wide range of nationalities and although the area is undoubtedly
Swiss French in both speech and culture, we have found that the common language
of communication is English. All of our neighbors have been friendly and welcoming
and any reservations that we may have hold prior to our arrival have long since
departed from our minds. In short, we are delighted with our decision. What would you recommend to people who are
contemplating retirement in Switzerland?
Certainly Switzerland offers any European a great deal by way of location,
facility and culture. There is a lot to do and see and the Swiss have maintained
their historical good sense in their dealings with foreign nationals seeking
residency by developing very fair and trouble-free taxation arrangements. I
would, therefore, strongly recommend that they pursue their interest
to at least securing full details of these arrangements from some organization
like your own so that they will have both a quantitative as well as a qualitative
measure of their future within Switzerland, should they decide to relocate. What was it like to work with Micheloud & Co.?
We found that Micheloud and Cie and Francois, the boss, in particular
fulfilled every one of their promises. They were extremely accurate about
the procedures, the timing and the eventual tax bill that would be levied so we had a trouble-free experience from start to finish. We have been so
pleased with their service that we have provided them with a personal reference
and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anybody contemplating
such a step. This interview has been published with the consent of our client who has reviewed and approved it before it was published.
