Registration Company In Switzerland

In this country, there are very favorable conditions for operations requiring the simultaneous presence of a resident office and preferential taxation.

Switzerland’s tax advantages are related to the fact that in some cantons it is possible to register a company whose profits will only be taxed at a reduced rate of 9.8%. At the same time, due to the federal tax on equity, the effective real rate will slightly exceed the mentioned value.

The company has standard requirements: it must belong to non-residents and conduct all operations outside the country. However, in some cantons such companies have the right to establish a really functioning office in Switzerland.

Taxation issues in different cantons are dealt with in different ways. In a number of cantons, a trading company may carry out part of operations in Switzerland while maintaining preferential status. However, the proportion of such operations is limited. So, in some cantons tax exemptions are provided, provided that at least 80% of the operations of the trading and purchasing company must be carried out outside the country. Otherwise, the tax rate will increase by 20%.

Thus, the main feature of a Swiss company of this type is that with a low income tax, such a company can be managed in Switzerland, i.e. she has the right to have a real resident status.
Companies registered here may benefit from Swiss Double Taxation Agreements. At the same time, the respectability of the Swiss company is quite comparable to the American one. However, it must be borne in mind that in order to register a company in Switzerland, a contribution of 100,000 Swiss francs is required.
