Swiss cantons target the wealthy

A half-day conference will promote the low taxes and benefits for both individuals and companies of relocating to Switzerland.

Conference attendees will hear a presentation on the current Sterling/Swiss franc exchange rate situation as well as the Swiss National Bank's strategy towards combating the rise of the Swiss franc.

Accountancy firm BDO Switzerland will assist conference delegates on the topics of setting-up a Swiss company and negotiating tax settlements. Zurich lawyers Altenburger will be on hand to offer advice on securing Swiss residency, how to purchase property and secure mortgages. Conference delegates will also be given background on pension transfer and arranging healthcare insurance.

Cantons represented at the conference include Lausanne, Lugarno, Lucerne and the Swiss capital, Bern.

“After last year’s hugely successful conference promoting Lucerne, we are delighted more cantons are coming to London to update companies and individuals on Switzerland’s continuing low taxes and pro-business environment. The adverse exchange rate caused by investor flight to the Swiss franc as a result of currency turmoil in the Euro zone is still outweighed by the tax attractions of a country with the highest financial regulation and a growing economy," said Ian Williams, Director, Relocate to Switzerland.

The Swiss conference will be held at 12 noon on Wednesday 12 October at the Westbury Hotel, Mayfair, London W1. Attendance is free.
