Set Up Your Company in Switzerland
Add prestige to your business with Switzerland's strong economy, political stability, and high living standards.
Each of Switzerland's 26 cantons offers different tax rates. Cantons like Zug, Schwyz and Lucerne attract international companies with particularly low rates. Choosing the right canton can materially reduce your tax burden.
Flexible 11.9-20.5% Corporate Tax
In Switzerland, the effective corporate tax rate varies between 11.9% and 20.5% by canton. Federal tax is a fixed 8.5%, with cantonal and municipal taxes added on top. The right canton can deliver rates well below the EU average.
