Grégoire Uldry and Alexia Egger Castillo write for Wealth Briefing on Swiss tax residency

Given the focus on the cross-border migration of high-net-worth (HNW) individuals around the world in these geopolitically difficult times, there is much talk in the UK, for example, of wealthy individuals leaving the country, with Switzerland being one of the potential destinations.

One question that keeps coming up is “how long do I need to spend in Switzerland to be tax resident?”

Grégoire Uldry, Partner and Alexia Egger, Associate, write for Wealth Briefing and  provide an overview of the criteria for qualifying as a Swiss tax resident, and the risks triggered by having multiple residences.

(The article is part of the series that began with an article published in June about key points to consider when relocating to Switzerland.)
