Switzerland: Income Tax

Swiss lump-sum taxation is often described as if Switzerland offered a fixed annual tax package for wealthy foreign residents. This is misleading. In legal terms, taxation according to expenditure is a method for calculating a taxable base. It is not a flat fee, a separate tax rate or a Swiss residence permit. The real annual cost is usually driven by the highest relevant calculation input, not by the lowest published minimum.
