With the amendment to the VAT Ordinance on 01.01.2019, the tax liability of foreign companies in Switzerland was massively expanded. The VAT liability arises in particular when deliveries are made in Switzerland and the worldwide annual turnover limit of currently CHF 100,000 is exceeded, i.e. with the first franc of turnover generated in Switzerland. In accordance with Art. 67 of the VAT Act, taxable foreign companies must be represented by a tax representative established in Switzerland.

We ensure that you implement the VAT regulations formally and materially correctly, i.e. in particular:

Pursuant to Art. 518 para. 2 of the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB), the executor must represent the will of the testator. In particular, he is authorized to perform the following acts:

• Administration of the inheritance (identification, investment and preservation of assets)

• Payment of the deceased's debts

• Payment of any legacies

• Division of the estate in accordance with the testator's instructions or the provisions of the law

The appointment of an executor is particularly recommended in the case of complex family or financial circumstances or if there is a risk that the heirs will disregard the testator's last wishes or even fall out. However, the executor can also be helpful if the financial circumstances are clear and there is no risk of a dispute between the heirs. They take care of all financial matters and relieve the heirs of administrative tasks during the period of mourning.

This responsible activity requires specialist knowledge, experience and diplomatic skills. It is advisable to consult external specialists.

Whether with or without a last will and testament, the division of an estate can quickly become challenging if the entire estate does not consist of cash that is easy to divide. We also support you in complex estate settlements, as part of the will execution mandate, as appointed representatives of the community of heirs or simply in an advisory capacity.

Under debt enforcement and bankruptcy law, the administrator is responsible for managing assets or companies in the interests of all parties involved. This demanding task is associated with numerous legal issues arising from the Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Act, as well as other areas of law.

Make the most of your private finances! Fundamental changes in life circumstances such as marriage, divorce, setting up a business, redundancy, cohabitation, death of a partner, disability, inheritance, etc. are often triggers to rethink your personal situation and future plans.

However, personal financial planning is an essential part of life planning even without external events. This involves analyzing the flowing connections between pension provision and life risks, assets, taxes and the law and tailoring them to your financial life goals. We work with you to analyze your personal income and asset situation, your needs and requirements for the future and the other framework conditions. Based on the current situation, we present scenarios for the future, taking into account pension provision, investments, taxes and estate planning.
