Planning Considerations
- Commune selection: In Schwyz, small multiplier differences produce meaningful results at higher net worth.
- Debt & valuation: Optimising deductible debt and ensuring realistic asset values can further reduce the effective rate.
- Pension structure: Pillar 2/3a assets remain exempt — reallocating into these may lower wealth tax exposure.
