Bär & Karrer

Daniel U Lehmann and Anke Stumm of Bär & Karrer consider how measures put forward by the OECD’s BEPS project and the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive have impacted corporate taxation in Switzerland.

Withholding taxes are commonly applied in Switzerland to certain debt issues, even though many foreign jurisdictions have abolished such taxes. Bär & Karrer’s Christoph Suter and Susanne Schreiber discuss how Swiss issuers are increasingly limiting their tax exposure through foreign subsidaries and observing lender limits.
