Swiss tax
There are three kinds of direct tax in the Swiss tax system:
direct Federal tax, cantonal tax and municipal tax.
The tax legislation in the cantons are in some cases very different, since important areas such as the establishment of tax rates and scales fall within the jurisdiction of the individual cantons.
The Canton of Zug is considered to be the canton with the most favourable tax system and can also be described as a particularly uncomplicated and unbureaucratic canton in the way in which the cantonal tax authorities deal with tax-payers.
In theory, all natural and legal persons in the Canton of Zug are liable to pay tax if they have their place of residence or domicile or a business establishment in the Canton of Zug.
The liability to pay tax is also established in the double taxation agreements.
Direct Federal tax, cantonal tax and municipal tax are levied on the income (profits) of a company. The capital will only be subject to cantonal and municipal tax.
