How to protect your wealth as a foreigner in Switzerland

3 min read

Being a foreigner in Switzerland involves specific legal and tax implications that can significantly affect your wealth.

Key points

Permits and assets: Your permit (B, C or L) affects your rights over assets, especially real estate.

Double taxation: Switzerland has agreements with more than 100 countries. Knowing the agreement can save you thousands of francs per year.

Estate planning: Forced heirs' shares are governed by Swiss law. If you have assets in several countries, you need cross-border planning.

Life insurance: Properly structured, they protect your family and are also effective tax tools.
