The Swiss tax system is federal and organized at three levels: federal, cantonal and municipal. Each of these levels has the right to levy taxes individually, resulting in a variety of tax laws and rates.

Tax return and calculation

In Switzerland, natural and legal persons must submit a tax return every year. The tax liability is calculated on the basis of worldwide income and assets. The tax burden can vary greatly depending on where you live, which leads many taxpayers to choose their place of residence based on tax considerations. Switzerland offers tax relief for foreign skilled workers.

​

International tax law

Switzerland has concluded numerous double taxation agreements with other countries to avoid double taxation of income and assets. These agreements regulate which country has the right to tax and how the tax credit is applied.
