| Having a few stocks bought in Denmark, and some bought while I was living in Switzerland.
My question is how much and where I will be taxed if I cash in the winnings on these investments.
Denmark has some of the highest taxes in the world, so it could be good for me to sell here before I return if possible
I have a B-permit should that be relevant.
Any thoughts on this...? | |

As long as you are resident in Switzerland, all your global income and global wealth is taxable here.
In theory, Switzerland does not tax capital gains. However, in practice, "it depends" and worst-case the gains are added to income and taxed at the incremental rate. There is another thread on this forum, where others and I discussed this topic extensively.
Some countries impose an "exit tax", i.e. at the time of departure, the held assets are deemed sold and taxed. I do not know the Danish tax system and therefore cannot say anything about your liabilities there.
