Swiss fund tax reporting services

Explore our expert services for accurate Swiss fund tax reporting, ensuring full compliance and optimal tax treatment of foreign investment funds in Switzerland

Accurate Swiss fund tax reporting is critical for foreign investment funds distributed in Switzerland.

In Switzerland, relevant tax values must be calculated annually and made available to investors. The Swiss fund tax reporting, along with its publication on the official website of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (“SFTA”), enables fund management companies to ensure that Swiss individual investors are taxed solely on taxable income (such as dividends and interests) of the investment fund, but not on the capital gains generated.

If the taxable figures are not submitted to the SFTA, investors may face higher taxation, making the fund unattractive in comparison with other products. Furthermore, legally compliant fund tax reporting is often a prerequisite for banks to include an investment fund on their list of recommended investments.
