Weniger Steuern, legal

Zug kombiniert den niedrigsten kantonalen Steuersatz in der Schweiz mit einem umfassenden globalen Abkommensnetzwerk und null Kapitalgewinnsteuer auf private Wertpapierbetätigungen.

Switzerland levies corporate income tax at three levels: federal, cantonal, and municipal. In Zug canton, the combined effective rate sits at approximately 11.9% — among the lowest in Europe for a jurisdiction offering full OECD legitimacy.

Unlike offshore arrangements that carry reputational risk, Zug is a fully onshore, white-listed jurisdiction with substance requirements that are straightforward to meet. Switzerland participates in the OECD framework and is fully FATF compliant.

Capital gains tax on private securities holdings is zero at the federal level, making Zug exceptionally attractive for holding companies, founders, and investors.

Wealth tax applies at the cantonal level but at very low rates — Zug has the lowest wealth tax rate of all Swiss cantons. For foreign executives relocating to Switzerland, the lump-sum taxation regime offers a further planning opportunity.

Zug punches far above its weight as a global business hub. Despite a population of fewer than 130,000 people, the canton hosts the headquarters or regional offices of numerous Fortune 500 companies, commodity trading houses, biotech firms, and financial institutions.

Access to Swiss private banking, a highly skilled multilingual talent pool, and a dense network of lawyers, auditors, and trust companies make Zug uniquely productive for international entrepreneurs.

The Zug business community is internationally-minded and genuinely collaborative. Through local business associations and co-working spaces, newcomers quickly find partners, investors, and advisors.
