Proper planning does not stretch the rules. It uses the room the law provides.

What we do

Four fronts, one single approach.

Return, optimisation, succession, relocation. Distinct areas that we manage together, because your personal taxation is one.

01

Tax return and compliance

Preparation of the annual tax return, gathering and organisation of the documents, review of the tax assessments, calculation of advance payments and management of payments. You sign and stay relaxed: we take care of the details, meeting all deadlines.

02

Tax optimisation and planning

Good planning does not mean stretching the rules, but correctly using the room the law provides. Income, deductions, pension provision, wealth: legitimate choices to reduce the tax burden, always explained with their advantages and limits.

03

Succession and wealth planning

Organising the transfer of wealth in good time means protecting what you have built and giving peace of mind to your family. A strategy consistent with your wishes and the applicable rules, also when there are elements between Italy and Switzerland.

04

Relocation of residence to Switzerland

Moving to Switzerland affects taxes, pension provision and wealth and must be prepared before the move. Analysis of your situation, choice of timing and arrangements, coordination between the Italian and the Swiss side to avoid mistakes and double taxation.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often.

Have a specific case you do not see here? Message us on WhatsApp: we reply within the day.

  • Who has to file a tax return as an individual in Ticino?

    In general, anyone resident and taxed in the ordinary regime in Canton Ticino is required to file a tax return. Those subject to withholding tax may also, in certain situations, have to file a return or request a correction. We check your status and take care of the entire return, from gathering documents to filing it.

  • Can I legally reduce the taxes I pay as an individual in Switzerland?

    Yes, through proper tax planning and in full compliance with the law: deductions, pension provision, the structure of your wealth and timing can all affect the tax due. We analyse your personal situation and identify the optimisation opportunities that genuinely apply to your case, without forcing anything, explaining the advantages and limits of each choice.

  • How does tax planning work if I want to move to Switzerland with my family?

    Relocating your residence to Switzerland has effects on taxes, pension provision and wealth that must be assessed before the move. We support you in analysing your situation, choosing the right timing and arrangements and coordinating between the Italian and the Swiss side, so you avoid mistakes and double taxation.

  • How can I plan my succession and protect my wealth?

    Estate planning allows you to organise the transfer of your wealth in good time, reducing uncertainty and burdens for your heirs. We help you assess your asset and family situation and set up a strategy consistent with your wishes and the applicable rules, including in cross-border Italy–Switzerland situations.

  • I work as a cross-border worker: what do you handle for my tax situation?

    For cross-border workers we handle the verification of the withholding tax, any correction request and the coordination with Italian taxation to avoid double taxation. It is a specific area that we cover in detail on the dedicated page about cross-border workers and withholding tax.
