International Tax Law
Double Tax Treaties, International Developments, Tax Optimisation
Your goals
Many Swiss enterprises do business abroad. Production, distribution and R&D activities are outsourced; new markets are penetrated; existing sales channels are realigned. Employees are often sent to foreign jurisdictions to work on a project or construction job. In addition, mergers, acquisitions and business reorganisations provide synergies and planning opportunities. On the other hand, international developments such as BEPS (base erosion and profit shifting) and the EU Action Plan require careful and wise actions to protect a group’s reputation.

MME Integrated Approach
International tax law is a cross-border discipline which requires extensive experience and creativity. However, the operational reality of an international group should always be reflected in its tax structure. In addition, increasingly complex compliance requirements (trade compliance, for example) should be considered when entering new markets.

Stamp duty, foreign insurance premium payments
The payment of insurance premiums by a Swiss policyholder to a foreign insurer may result that the Swiss policyholder has to declare and pay stamp duty to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (SFTA). Foreign permanent establishments of Swiss companies may also qualify as Swiss policyholders. We therefore recommend periodically checking the insurance premiums paid with respect to the liability to pay and declare Swiss stamp duty.
