Swiss tax law is represented by a three-tier taxation system: federal, cantonal, and municipal taxes. Federal tax applies throughout the country, while each canton determines its own tax legislation. Local (municipal) taxes are also independently determined by the local government (at the municipal level). These characteristics of the Swiss tax system are explained by the country's confederation.

Swiss tax law provides individuals and legal entities with the opportunity to achieve significant and legal savings on mandatory contributions. At the same time, it would be incorrect to assume that these benefits are automatically provided, meaning without an appropriate strategy. Answers to tax-related questions, being legal matters, require a strategy developed by a competent legal expert in this field.
