TAX RETURN PREPARATION


 * INTRODUCTION TO THE SWISS TAX SYSTEM FOR EXPATS
   
   Moving to Switzerland can be an exciting and rewarding experience. However,
   it’s important to understand the Swiss tax system in order to make the most
   of your stay. The Swiss tax system is composed of three levels of government:
   federal, cantonal, and municipal. Each level levies different taxes, from
   income tax to social security contributions. Understanding this complex
   system is key in order to optimize your taxes and benefit from a favorable
   tax environment in Switzerland.


 * GUIDANCE OF SWISS SOCIAL & PENSION SYSTEM
   
   The Swiss social and pension system is made up of several compulsory and
   voluntary contributions. These include taxes such as health insurance and
   pension contributions, which are mandatory and generally deducted at source
   from your salary. To ensure you are aware of your rights, obligations and
   potential savings, it is essential to get an overview of the social system in
   Switzerland.


 * ARRIVAL / DEPARTURE CONSULTATIONS
   
   When arriving in Switzerland or leaving the country it is important to take
   into account various aspects that could affect your taxes such as double
   taxation agreements or capital gains tax due to selling off assets abroad.
   Consulting an experienced partner can help you understand how to manage your
   wealth optimally when entering or leaving Switzerland, making sure you
   benefit from all the advantages that Swiss taxation offers while avoiding any
   unpleasant surprises.


 * TAX OPTIMIZATION ANALYSIS
   
   The Swiss taxation system allows for a certain degree of optimization
   depending on your country of origin and the canton you choose to work in or
   live in. A detailed analysis of your income and expenses can help you
   identify ways to minimize your tax burden, such as opting for lump sum
   extraction or annuity at retirement, or taking advantage of double taxation
   treaties with other countries.
