Content

Keeping up to date with the latest developments in tax legislation and practice is a major challenge. The aim of this annual seminar is to provide participants with a sound and up-to-date overview of the latest developments in corporate tax law in legislation, administrative practice and case law.

The workshops on offer provide participants with the opportunity to learn about the most important innovations in a compact and focused manner over two seminar days and to deepen their knowledge using practical case studies. In each workshop, both the perspective of the tax authorities and that of the taxpayer will be examined by a representative from the field. Participants can therefore benefit from the speakers' extensive practical experience in day-to-day tax practice as well as their insight into the latest developments in case law and legislation.

The seminar uses selected case studies to discuss tax law problems for companies and their stakeholders. Both the special tax challenges for partnerships and the tax stumbling blocks for corporations will be explored in depth in workshops. Of course, the topic of corporate restructuring will also be covered, with a separate workshop dedicated to it. And as always, in addition to updates on withholding tax and stamp duties as well as in-depth explanations of specific tax issues for SMEs, current developments in the area of intercantonal and international corporate tax law will also be discussed.

The offer comprises seven workshops, six of which can be attended, i.e. in addition to five "fixed" workshops, participants can spontaneously choose whether they would like to attend the "VAT update" or "Transfer pricing documentation" workshop. Regardless of their choice, participants will receive detailed documentation and solution notes for all workshops.

As always, there will be another guest lecture on the program; this time we will be looking at tax law from a philosophical perspective.

Workshop

Oliver Jäggi and Remo Küttel on the content of their workshop: "The topics in our workshop are multi-layered. We will examine the new KS 32a on restructuring and the practice of debt waivers. We will also analyze groundbreaking Federal Supreme Court rulings on the topics of treasury shares, provisions for unused vacation and transposition as well as their impact on administrative practice. Another focus is the topic of foreign currencies. In particular, we deal with the conversion of the accounting currency/par value capital from Swiss francs into the functional currency of a company. Finally, we use various case constellations to highlight withholding tax on employees' earned income and the associated liability risks for companies."

Update on withholding tax and stamp duties

-

Workshop

Thomas Jaussi and Markus Küpfer on the content of their workshop: "Withholding tax and stamp duty are still in flux, both due to recent court rulings and adjustments to administrative practices. We will also take a look into the future and draw attention to relevant parliamentary initiatives and possible developments in these two tax areas."

News on the taxation of corporate restructuring

-

Workshop

Stefan Oesterhelt and Daniel Strahm on the content of their workshop: "Can the interest expense on a debt push down of an acquisition financing be deducted for profit tax purposes? When and to what extent is there subsequent taxation in the case of a reverse charge under the modified triangular theory? And when does a group transfer constitute a breach of the blocking period? We will discuss these questions in our workshop using numerous case studies."

Current cases on intercantonal and international corporate tax law

-

Workshop

René Matteotti and Philipp Betschart on the content of their workshop: "In our workshop, we will deal with current and interesting developments and rulings on intercantonal and international corporate tax law. Once again, we will be reporting on interesting developments in the case law of the Federal Supreme Court. For example, the Federal Supreme Court recently ruled on the consequences if it subsequently transpires that the canton of domicile was not responsible for levying direct federal tax. The Federal Supreme Court also clarified its case law on the standard of proof in intercantonal tax law. The Federal Supreme Court has also commented on the relationship between the requirement to fully transfer debts and interest on debts and the prohibition on the imposition of worse tax treatment."

Roger Rohner and Ralf Imstepf on the content of their workshop: "In addition to current court rulings on the non-entrepreneurial area and the VAT treatment of cryptos, we will inform you about the most important areas that will undergo changes as a result of the partial revision of the VAT Act that came into force on January 1, 2025. We will also take a look at the changes in the area of the net tax rate method, which have also been in force since the beginning of 2025."

Transfer pricing documentation - international and Swiss (optional module)

-

Workshop

The speakers on the content of their workshop: "Until now, the documentation of transfer pricing has been more of an issue abroad. Although there are no regulations in Switzerland on the preparation of comprehensive transfer pricing documentation, the Swiss tax authorities are also demanding ever more comprehensive documentation. In this workshop, you will learn about the requirements of the OECD and the Swiss tax authorities."

Compact seminars

You want to build a solid foundation: Compact seminars

In the compact seminars, you will acquire the basic knowledge of Swiss and international tax law in individual topic-related modules. These basics are supplemented by the latest developments in tax law.

The compact seminars are usually one-day events at a central location, but they can also be attended as an online event via streaming.

For preparation and for reference after the seminar, you will receive documents with case studies and detailed solution instructions. The seminar will focus on discussing the case studies.

Integration seminars

You want to think outside the box: Integration seminars

On the one hand, the integration seminars provide you with the basics from cross-tax knowledge areas, for example basic legal and business management knowledge. On the other hand, you can deal in depth with the tax issues arising in this context on the basis of practical case studies.

The integration seminars are usually one-day events with introductory speeches as well as presentations on the respective cross-tax topics. The tax-specific issues are dealt with by discussing case studies.

In-depth seminars

You want to get to the bottom of tax law: In-depth seminars

The in-depth seminars provide an intensive examination of complex tax issues. The in-depth seminars are mainly or exclusively designed as workshops. After a brief introduction to the topic, practical examples are presented with the aim of stimulating in-depth discussions.

In order to leave enough time for the exchange of ideas
also outside the workshops, the in-depth seminars are partly two-day events, where special emphasis is also placed on the ambience.

The in-depth seminars are aimed at experienced tax professionals and those who want to become one.

Working Skills Seminars

You want to develop your secondary virtues: Working Skills Seminars

Within the framework of the working skills seminars, you can train your non-tax-specific skills that are important for success in tax practice. For example, working techniques, creativity or communication skills.

These seminars are held only sporadically.

Update Seminars

You want to be "à jour": Update seminars

In the update seminars, we take changes in tax legislation as well as in related areas of law and changes in tax practice by tax authorities as an opportunity to take a close look at the effects on tax practice. In doing so, the basics are also presented, as far as this makes sense.

Update seminars also include the 90-minute webinars, which are held exclusively online during lunchtime. They focus primarily on current developments.
