Practice change of profit/loss allocation
The Zurich Tax Authority is changing its practice of profit/loss allocation for Swiss companies with foreign permanent establishments for Zurich Cantonal/Communal tax purposes. From 1 January 2021, the Zurich Tax Authority will apply the same method for Zurich Cantonal/Communal taxes as for Federal Tax purposes.
Brexit and Swiss Companies
On January 31, 2020, the UK left the EU. However, a country leaving the EU is not a simple business transaction which may be executed on the “closing date”. On October 17, 2019, the UK and the EU therefore entered into the so-called Withdrawal Agreement. This Agreement has the goal to define the process and circumstances of Brexit.
