Gratuitous transfer of assets under tax law
Content
Although almost all cantons have long exempted the gratuitous transfer of assets to descendants from inheritance and gift tax, these transfers of assets can still have significant tax consequences today. There are still 26 different inheritance and gift tax laws in Switzerland. Internationally, there are hardly any double taxation agreements in the area of inheritance tax and, in particular, gift tax.
In this seminar, participants will deepen their knowledge of Swiss inheritance and gift tax law, including the principles of intercantonal and international tax rulings. Experienced experts will discuss the tax pitfalls in workshops using realistic examples and point out possible solutions. They will also look at the possible effects of the introduction of a federal inheritance tax (JUSO initiative) and suggest possible measures.
