Is there a federal inheritance tax in Switzerland?

No. Inheritance and gift taxes are regulated and levied on the canton level, which means exemptions, rates and beneficiary categories differ by canton.

What does a fixed-fee package include?

The package typically includes canton-specific threshold and rate analysis, checklist & document preparation, submission of canton forms, payment & deadline coordination, and audit-ready support. Canton-specific add-ons (e.g., property valuation/apportionment) are available.

Do you support cases spanning multiple cantons?

Yes. We coordinate filings, valuations, possible exemptions and deadlines across multiple cantons, working closely with your notary or attorney to avoid double taxation or delays.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes — we offer a complimentary 20-minute discovery call to assess your situation, outline the engagement and present a transparent fixed-fee quote before proceeding.
