Switzerland’s cantonal tax system means your Geneva subsidiary faces different rates, deadlines, and filing requirements to a branch in Zug or Zurich. For international groups, the additional challenge is translating Swiss tax obligations into terms that make sense to a head office finance team working in a different framework entirely. Dryden ICS prepares and files your cantonal declarations, liaises with the tax authorities on outstanding matters, and reports back to your group in English — removing the gap between local compliance and group oversight.

There are other local municipal declarations that need to be completed.

Swiss VAT operates differently to EU VAT — the CHF 100,000 registration threshold, the quarterly filing cycle, and the treatment of cross-border services all require specific handling. For international groups with Swiss operations, the interaction between Swiss VAT and home-country VAT obligations adds further complexity. We manage registration, quarterly filings, and any correspondence with the federal VAT authorities, and can advise on cross-border VAT treatment where your business straddles multiple jurisdictions.
