Double Tax Treaties in Switzerland

Double taxation refers to the fact that two countries collect simultaneously taxes on the same company. This situation often arises when companies have subsidiaries or branches in various countries.

Establish a subsidiary in Switzerland

Subsidiaries are legal entities with capital that is partially or totally owned by foreign companies. However, the management of the subsidiary is not conditioned by the foreign capital, and the entity is able to handle business contracts, hire employees or issue and transfer shares.

Register a company in Switzerland

Switzerland offers many business opportunities for companies and corporations, which operate in various fields of activity. Therefore, registering a company in Switzerland is a smart business move, especially for companies looking to expand their activity abroad.

Double Taxation Convention between Switzerland and UAE

The Swiss federal Council and the Government of the United Arab Emirates have decided to conclude a Convention in regard of the avoidance of double taxation with respect to taxes on income. The UAE is one of Switzerland’s most important economic partners in the Middle East, therefore a double taxation convention is meant to enhance bilateral economic relations between the two countries.
