Living in Switzerland
Settling in Switzerland involves a number of administrative and tax formalities, both personal and professional. We’ll be with you every step of the way, advising you on everything from obtaining a residence permit, finding suitable accommodation and arranging health insurance to fulfilling your more specific needs. We can also provide guidance on choosing schools or setting up a Swiss pension and personal risk coverage.
Administrative and tax planning when taking up residency in Switzerland
We help expatriates, business owners and executives from abroad to organise their move to Switzerland, analysing their income and assets even before the plane lands. Differences between the Swiss and foreign tax systems are scrutinised. We also manage reporting obligations and identify the adjustments needed to bring their finances into compliance with Swiss rules. We work actively to avoid double taxation risks and to maximise the tax benefits associated with your new place of residence.
Some of the formalities are usually taken care of by the employer. Where this isn’t the case, we can offer more than simply residency services. We facilitate the opening of bank accounts in Switzerland, set up wealth management solutions tailored to your profile and help obtain financing, whether buying a primary residence or investing in a business. Finally, we offer solutions for assets located abroad to ensure consistency between your requirements here in Switzerland and internationally.
More than simply administrative and tax support
We provide comprehensive assistance to facilitate your relocation to Switzerland. If you own a business or work for a company that does not offer expatriation assistance, we can help you get a residence permit, find a place to live, choose a health insurer and recommend schools.
We also provide you with a comprehensive overview of the Swiss pension system and offer guidance on pension-related matters. Our one-stop service is designed to align with your long-term goals, whether you are a businessperson, executive or simply an employee.
Financial and retirement planning
Whether you’re employed or self-employed, financial planning and occupational pension provision are essential to protecting your assets and funding your retirement, or providing for your loved ones in the event of death or disability.
Tax and estate planning
Wherever you live or wherever your assets are located, we can help you find and implement solutions tailored to your individual circumstances.
Swiss mortgages
Are you considering buying a property for your own use or as an investment for renting out? Or do you wish to refinance an existing mortgage? We’ll be with you throughout the whole process.
