The visionary tax expert: strong in blockchain, FinTech and technology - with a weakness for good football.
Thomas Linder is experienced in providing tax advice to companies based in Switzerland and abroad, with particular expertise in the area of VAT.
He is considered a pioneer in the tax and legal analysis of decentralized business models, blockchain-based transactions, ICOs and digital assets. His clients from the technology and FinTech industry range from innovative startups from the «Crypto Valley» and renowned international companies to professional investors and DeFi enthusiasts.
Thomas has received several awards from Chambers, The Legal 500 and Lexology Index in the areas of "FinTech" and "Tax", regularly speaks and publishes on current tax and digitalization topics and is a lecturer at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. He is also a co-chair of the Crypto Valley Association's (CVA) «Tax & Accounting» working group.
In his spare time, he likes to relax by playing golf or to cheering on the (all too rare) successes of his favorite football club at the time-honored Brügglifeld in Aarau.
