Swiss Lump Sum Taxation
Take advantage of Swiss lump-sum taxation and pay only a yearly flat tax based on your house and not have to report your full assets or income.

• If you are not Swiss, do not work nor have worked in Switzerland during the past 10 years, we can obtain a tax ruling in your favor exempting you from normal taxes in Switzerland. You will pay only a flat yearly tax.
• Immutable - every year you pay the same amount of tax (indexed for inflation)
• Confidential - you are not required to report your full assets or income. Even if you have investments in a Swiss bank, as a Swiss lump-sum resident, such investments are not taxable and you have no obligation to report them anywhere.
• Simple - gone are the 50 page tax returns, complex tax-planning structures or shaky offshore loopholes. You enter into a written agreement with the Swiss tax authorities, signed by both parties, and mutually agree on the amount of tax you'll pay from now on.
• Flexible - you can now decide how to invest your money without worrying about future tax implications. If at some point you want to give up lump-sum taxation, you are free at any time to choose the regular Swiss tax system.
• Peace of mind - we can often obtain a tax ruling before you come to Switzerland so you'll know exactly how much you will pay in taxes before moving. In a sense, this is like a rental agreement which you would sign before moving into your new home - Switzerland.
• Please consider that the minimum annual tax is at least 50,000 CHF for this tax system. Or you can of course choose instead to pay income tax as a percentage of your taxable income.
