FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

International clients often have specific questions about Swiss tax requirements and optimization strategies. Here are answers to the most common inquiries from our English-speaking clientele.

Do you offer tax advisor services in both English and French for your international clients?

Yes, our Geneva tax advisor practice provides comprehensive services in multiple languages to serve our diverse international clientele. We deliver our full range of tax advisory services in English, French, and Spanish, ensuring clear communication and precise understanding of complex tax matters. This multilingual capability is essential for international clients navigating Swiss tax regulations while maintaining their preferred language of business communication.

What is the difference between your services and those of a traditional fiduciary?

Unlike fiduciaries who focus primarily on general accounting and bookkeeping services, our tax advisor specializes exclusively in fiscal matters. We provide strategic tax planning, international structuring, cross-border compliance, and specialized advisory services that require deep tax expertise. While fiduciaries handle routine accounting tasks, we deliver high-level tax optimization strategies and represent clients before tax authorities on complex matters requiring specialized knowledge.

How can I book a first appointment with your firm?

You can easily schedule your initial consultation through two convenient methods: contact us directly by telephone during business hours, or complete our online contact form on our website. We respond promptly to all inquiries and will coordinate a convenient time for your complimentary initial consultation to discuss your specific tax advisory needs and our service approach.

How can a tax advisor help international businesses optimize their Swiss tax position?

A specialized tax advisor in Geneva can provide essential expertise for international businesses navigating Swiss tax regulations. Our services include establishing tax-efficient Swiss structures, optimizing treaty benefits, managing VAT obligations, and ensuring compliance across federal, cantonal, and municipal levels. We focus specifically on international tax planning rather than general accounting services, delivering strategic tax optimization that traditional fiduciaries cannot match.

What specific challenges do English-speaking clients face with Swiss taxation?

International clients commonly encounter language barriers, complex cross-border regulations, and unfamiliar Swiss tax concepts like cantonal variations and municipal differences. Our Geneva practice specifically addresses these challenges through English-language service delivery, international tax treaty expertise, and deep understanding of how Swiss regulations interact with other jurisdictions’ tax systems.

Can you provide initial consultation services for potential Geneva relocations or business establishments?

Yes, we offer comprehensive initial consultations for international clients considering Geneva operations. These sessions cover Swiss tax implications, optimal structuring options, compliance requirements, and timeline considerations. Our initial consultation provides clear understanding of your Swiss tax obligations and opportunities before you commit to any specific structure or relocation decision.

What is 120k after tax in Geneva?

Earning CHF 120,000 gross in Geneva, your net income after income tax and social contributions depends on your personal taxation status, deductions, and residency. Swiss tax specialists consider federal, cantonal, and municipal tax burdens, which vary for residents and expats. Double taxation agreements with neighboring countries like France or Italy can affect withholding tax and reduce overall tax obligations if you have assets or income across multiple countries. Our international tax services assist private clients and multinational corporations alike in navigating these complexities to optimize savings and meet deadlines, ensuring the entire process is smooth and free from costly mistakes.

What's the difference between a tax advisor and an Accountant?

Tax advisors focus exclusively on tax services, offering specialized consulting to both private clients and companies, including multinational corporations and self-employed individuals. They assist in preparing accurate tax returns, managing payroll tax issues, and advising on tax obligations across multiple countries. Accountants handle broader financial tasks such as bookkeeping and financial reporting but may lack deep expertise in international tax treaties and complex personal taxation matters. Choosing skilled tax professionals ensures tailored strategies to reduce tax burdens, comply with deadlines, and optimize finances, especially for expats or those with assets affected by cross-border taxation.
