Relocation To Switzerland

In today’s globalized world, migration is no longer just driven by economic and existential needs. People increasingly choose to be expatriates and lead international lifestyles. As such, relocation planning has never been as important. Also, families are increasingly spread across jurisdictions, rendering relocation and estate planning as well as investment and financial advice for family members and stakeholders (e.g. family offices and trustees) even more important. In this brochure, we set out the most important legal and tax considerations to bear in mind if you are planning a move to Switzerland. Following a brief general overview of the Swiss political system, the brochure summarises the most important tax laws, the rules on foreigners acquiring Swiss real estate and the most relevant aspects of Swiss family, divorce and succession law.
