Our tax services range from the compilation of the simplest tax returns to the advice on complex reorganisations. Thanks to many years of experience in all disciplines of our business, decisive aspects of commercial and civil law as well as corporate governance do not remain unconsidered. We want individual tax solutions that are in line with your business strategy, your family situation and, last but not least, the law. You can rely on a careful, straightforward handling of ordinary assessment procedures. Furthermore, you can expect us to proactively point out tax risks and potential tax optimizations, which we will manage in your best interests even if highly complex. We are familiar with the current administrative practice and maintain good contacts with the tax authorities.
Comprehensive tax advice
We generally recommend a full tax advice in order to properly handle interactions between different forms of taxation, such as:
  • Income and wealth taxes
  • Profit and capital taxes
  • Withholding tax and issue stamp duty
  • Real estate gains tax and property transfer tax
  • Donation and inheritance tax
  • Property tax and other minimum taxes
Qualified tax advice
There is need for qualified tax advice in the case of:
  • Incorporations and liquidations
  • Reorganizations such as mergers and demergers
  • Financial turnarounds
  • Purchase and sale of businesses
  • Purchase, renovation and sale of real estates
  • Succession planning
  • Employee stock option plan
  • Trade-off between owner salary and dividend
  • Income from and wealth in foreign countries 
Profound expertise
In addition to our profound expertise in tax law, you can also rely on our specialized knowledge in business consulting and corporate support management. In complex cases we provide additional legal assurance by requesting, if appropriate, tax rulings from the authorities. Thanks to our broad language skills (German, French, Italian and English), we can provide clear advice to international entrepreneurs and expats.
