Moins d’impôts, légalement

Zoug combine le taux cantonal le plus bas de Suisse avec un réseau mondial de conventions fiscales et zéro impôt sur les plus-values pour les détentions privées de titres.

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.
