Wealth tax may be payable depending on total value (if declared)

If a swiss citizen deposits 1,00,000franks in swiss bank account cash... then is swiss citizen questioned about the source of income... also is the swiss citizen taxable on that cash deposited in bank account...?

PLease let me know

A Swiss resident in Switzerland and liable to tax is likely to be asked about the source of their increase in wealth during the year as part of the review of the tax return.

You are liable to a wealth tax on all your assets, although the percentages involved are relatively small - for example in Geneva it is about 3,000 CHF per year on a fortune of 1,000,000 CHF.

The bank might ask, it depends if it's an unusual transaction on your account.
If they ask they will accept what you say, unless they have any reason to doubt you.

Depositing funds does not cause any tax liability, the liability is identical if you hold cash orbits deposited.

The Swiss tax authorities will only know what you tell them, the Swiss banks don't give info as it would be a criminal offense subject to a prison term if they even confirmed you had an account with said bank.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Can you please help me out with the list or let me know where i can find " taxation in different city"

Hi All,

Can you please suggest me that after the marriage I am planning to bring my savings to Switzerland, can you please let me know that how much tax i must pay and what all other charges I must pay to bring the cash from India to Switzerland.

Also I must calculate all, if its find me cheaper I can transfer otherwise I must keep the all the money over here.

Please suggest me if there is some documents to look on or share me some URL on which I can clear my doubt which I have.

Also I wanted to know that for which all City how much is the tax accordingly.

Thanks in advance.

The tax liability if your a Swiss resident is identical if you leave the money in India or bring it here, so the questions are where do you plan to live & will you fully declare your wealth.

For tax you can get ball park figures from here:
http://tools.datahouse.ch/steuervergleich/
(It was easiest I found which supports wealth tax)

Just plug in your taxable income (*) in "Steuerbares Einkommen" you can enter 0 if you are only interested in the wealth tax.
Your worldwide (**) taxable asset in "Steuerbares Vermögen".
Two Swiss towns in "Wohnort bisher" and "Wohnort neu".
Zivilstatus "verheiratet" == married. "ledig" == single.
Hit on "Vergleichen". Total tax are the bold values in the result.


(*) To guesstimate taxable income from gross income: gross income - 12% - CHF 10000.
(**) See fatmanfilms comment above.

Hi,

I am planning to Neauchetel.

Can you please say me.

Hi Ronak,

Just some advice, since you are getting married:
In Switzerland, if you ever divorce, all money /fortune /houses bought after marriage are split 50%/50% between the two. Any money you had before is yours. So, if I were you, it's in your interest to declare all you have anywhere in the world, now (before marriage), as otherwise you risk your wife taking 50% of it, if things turn bad...

Tax on fortune is really, really small. Foreign properties are not taxed, but still need to be declared (for reasons I said earlier). Otherwise, why would all these millionnaires live here?

Sorry, but this is so not true. Fortunes are NEVER EVER split 50/50.
Also previous assets may or may not be split 50/50. Likewise a house bought from funds of previous assets or fortune is normally not split 50/50.

Please read the Swiss law before you say anything more.

It all depends on the chosen marital property regime:
Participation in Acquired Property (Default)
Community of property.
Separation of property.

Thanks, but can you please tell me from where did you get all these information from,

I want also to know about Geneva, Bern, Zurich and all the cantons.

All explained in this post.

You have to enter French or German town names. Geneva would be Geneve or Genf. Google Maps displays all town names in local language. Hint: you can write just a for à, â, ä; e for é, è, ê; o for ö; u for ü etc.
