Germany
Our many years of experience in everyday work with clients mean that we are very familiar not only with the relationships and the problems affecting our German clients, but also the appropriate solutions.
The high tax burden affecting German entrepreneurs, combined with frequently complex and constantly changing tax laws, means that Switzerland is often considered as a possible location for a company (or part of it) and/or for the entrepreneur and his or her family.
We can use our specific experience in finding a way past the obstacles and pitfalls presented by the German International Tax Relations Law. When moving from Germany to Switzerland, the various legal (especially tax-related) aspects must be considered alongside the practical matters. Failure to take these aspects into account can have serious repercussions: not only will relocation of entrepreneurial and/or private activities to Switzerland not produce any tax relief, but it might actually lead to substantial costs, or even a higher tax burden due to the departure tax charge.
Our experience at both enterprise and entrepreneurial level allows us to provide our clients with tailor-made solutions:
- Planning of assumption of residence in Switzerland
- Negotiation of flat-rate taxation
- Advice on entrepreneurial activities in Switzerland (choice of legal form, analysis of location, etc.)
- Negotiation of tax relief for companies
- Avoidance or reduction of the effects of the German International Tax Relations Law
