Fiscalité

The annual income tax return includes a multitude of tax deductions that allow you to minimize your tax burden and therefore optimize your taxes. For example, tax deductions such as the 3rd pillar or the purchase of 2nd pillar shares can significantly impact your tax liability. It is therefore essential to be accompanied by experts who will help you save money.

If you hold shares in unlisted companies or real estate, their correct valuation is important and contesting values that are too high retained by the tax authorities can also be decisive in minimizing your tax burden.

We can also assist you in a spontaneous denunciation procedure with the cantonal tax authorities. Our experts are available at any time to assist you in this exceptional procedure which can be a source of great concern.

It is also important to anticipate any tax and/or estate planning. In this case, it is important to analyze the situation in its entirety in order to be able to advise you in the best possible way, both in the short and long term. Our experts are at your disposal to discuss this and we can schedule a meeting to discuss it.
