TRAINING IN SWISS TAXATION

Guide your decisions with complete fiscal control.

Training objectives

Each module is designed to effectively build your skills, enabling you to quickly master the most effective tax techniques and strategies.

Swiss direct taxation

This module provides an in-depth understanding of the Swiss taxation system for individuals and legal entities. Participants learn how to calculate and plan direct federal, cantonal and municipal taxes, master corporate income and capital taxation, and deal with withholding tax and wealth taxation. Practical case studies guide the practical application of tax rules.

Swiss indirect taxation

The aim of this module is to acquire a comprehensive understanding of VAT and other indirect taxes in Switzerland. It covers tax liability, rates, returns and VAT in international trade. Customs duties, stamp duties and specific taxes are also studied. Practical exercises enable students to apply correction mechanisms, self-assessment and administrative management.

Intercantonal and international taxation

This module addresses tax mobility issues in Switzerland and internationally. Participants learn about the distribution of tax sovereignty, the principles of inter-cantonal and international double taxation, and OECD and bilateral agreements. Particular attention is paid to the taxation of cross-border workers, including quasi-resident status and Franco-Swiss agreements. The approach focuses on compliance and optimisation.

Tax procedure and compliance

This final module covers the procedural aspects of Swiss taxation: from tax returns to appeals, including tax audits and legal remedies. Participants also study transparency obligations, penalties and tax data protection under the LPD and GDPR laws. A practical approach prepares them to manage their relationship with the tax authorities effectively.
