The point
Proper planning makes the difference.
Corporate taxation has a direct impact on results: between simply absorbing taxes and managing them strategically, the difference comes from the method. Even more so for those operating between Italy, Switzerland and abroad.
We support Sagl, SA, corporate groups and entrepreneurs who want solid tax management and forward-looking planning — not just compliance, but strategy.

How does taxation differ between an individual and a company in Switzerland?
An individual is taxed on income and wealth at progressive rates, while a company is taxed on profit and capital as a standalone entity. Tax bases, rates and planning logic are different, and the taxation of dividends distributed to shareholders must also be taken into account. We assess together the most efficient structure for your situation.
-
I own a Sagl in Ticino: how are the dividends I pay myself taxed?
Dividends distributed by the company are taxed at shareholder level, with rules that depend on the participation percentage and the tax residence of the beneficiary. If you reside abroad, the double taxation agreements also come into play. We plan the distribution of profits and remuneration in the most tax-efficient and compliant way.
-
What is a tax ruling and when is it worth requesting one?
A ruling is an advance agreement with the tax authority that confirms the treatment of a specific transaction or structure, providing certainty before moving forward. It is worth requesting when the situation is complex or financially significant and uncertainty must be avoided. We prepare and manage the ruling application with the competent authority on your behalf.
-
My company operates between Italy and Switzerland: how do I avoid double taxation?
For companies operating between Italy and Switzerland, double taxation is managed by correctly applying the agreement between the two countries to salaries, dividends and intra-company flows. We analyse the flows and the group structure to set up compliant planning that avoids paying tax twice on the same income.
-
Do you provide international tax advisory for structures and corporate groups?
Yes. We follow international and cross-border taxation for companies and groups: complex tax structures, relationships between companies in different countries and planning of transactions.
