Core Swiss tax guides supporting the cantonal pages

The cantonal service pages are backed by a series of technical Swiss tax guides. These guides provide the nationwide framework within which the cantonal rules operate:

• Swiss income tax: Swiss Income Tax Guide and the canton-specific income tax hubs.
• Inheritance, wealth and property tax: Swiss Inheritance, Wealth and Property Tax Guide , including canton-specific inheritance and wealth tax hubs.
• Business tax: Swiss business tax guide (federal and cantonal interaction, corporate income and capital tax).
• Bookkeeping and accounting: Swiss Bookkeeping and Accounting Guide and the Swiss GAAP & accounting service .

Each cantonal tax service page links back to the relevant hubs and guides, ensuring that practical advice is always grounded in a coherent technical framework.

How our cross-canton Swiss tax process works

Many clients are exposed to several cantons over time – for example through moves, multi-canton real estate, businesses or permanent establishments. Our process is designed to handle multi-canton situations while keeping filing and planning responsibilities clearly structured:

• We identify which cantons and municipalities are relevant for income, wealth, inheritance and business tax.
• We assign a lead canton for planning and act as your central point of contact.
• We coordinate cantonal and federal positions so that they are consistent and defendable.
• Where needed, we align Swiss positions with US and German tax filings and other jurisdictions.

The same internal framework supports all cantonal tax service pages: one process and professional regulations, with a focus on cross-border mandates.
