Switzerland has seen an unprecedented inflow of Europeans since the Schengen Agreement. Does this have to do with the fact that the Swiss have a very high quality of life and that the unemployment rate is low despite heavy immigration, that the salaries are high and income tax low? Or does it have to do with the excellent public services and infrastructure? There are many reasons and today it’s easy for citizens of the EU to settle in Switzerland.

Resident permits for non-EU citizens are more difficult to obtain. These permits are subject to an annual quota and need authorization. The advantages are however manifold, especially from a tax perspective, which also apply for EU citizens. For instance, the fact that there is no inheritance tax can play a significant role when it comes to long-term succession planning or the flat rate taxation which most cantons offer when the income source is foreign.
