3 Levels Of Taxation In Switzerland -

0:00 Did you know that there are actually 3 levels of taxation in Switzerland?

0:07 I’m Beat Meyer with Expat Tax Switzerland. I’m a Swiss certified public accountant and tax specialist.

0:14 Switzerland is a federal republic. It has 26 states or cantons and it places taxes on income and wealth (also known as direct taxes) and on goods and services (also known as indirect taxes). The tax system in Switzerland is quite complex because the 26 cantons and the about 2,400 municipalities, levy their own taxes based on the cantonal constitutions and Federal Constitution.

0:44 Taxes are levied on these three levels of taxation: Federal, Cantonal, and Municipal Level. In this table you can see the direct taxes levied at each level. At the Confederation level you pay income taxes. At the cantonal level you pay income taxes and wealth tax. At the Commune level you pay municipal income tax and wealth tax, and in addition you get charged for services they render like for the fire brigade or any other services. Of course if you are happy to avoid the fire brigade charge, you can join the club.

1:23 In addition, the parishes of the three national churches (Roman Catholic, Protestant and Christ Catholic) levy taxes on their members in almost all of the cantons and usually on the local businesses.

1:37 So there you have it. The 3 Swiss Tax Levels in brief.  If you need more information on the Swiss tax system, or have any specific question, make sure to leave your comment below this video, or give me a call for a free initial consultation on country code 41 followed by 32 623 30 55.
