Tax and Duty Law

Switzerland is known for some peculiarities in connection with the taxation of companies and private individuals. Some cantons offer extremely favorable tax regimes for companies, while private individuals have the option of lump-sum taxation under certain circumstances, which exists in this form only in Switzerland.

Depending on the occasion or legal basis, taxes and duties are levied on individuals and legal entities in Switzerland. Tax law thus standardizes all relevant tax aspects for companies and private individuals. These include tax declarations, tax assessments, tax planning and advance tax rulings. In this context, appeal procedures against tax assessments are particularly relevant.
