How an Entrepreneur Benefited from Our Expertise
to Restructure and Optimize Their Business Activity

“Initially, our client’s business was not properly structured from a legal and tax perspective. He did not benefit from all the tax advantages related to partial dividend tax exemption for Swiss residents, and his personal pension plan was far from optimal. We restructured his business activities and advised on the best salary-dividend combination, as well as an optimal professional pension plan.”

Andrés Taracido
Director, My Swiss Company SA

Summary

Our client experienced strong growth in his mail-order business across Europe. He owned companies in different countries without optimal legal and tax structuring based on his residence and family situation.

Our corporate services firm, My Swiss Company SA, fully restructured the client’s business by establishing a holding (parent company) and three subsidiaries in Switzerland. We optimized the dividend distribution based on salary and revised the client’s entire pension plan. We also implemented long-term financial and tax planning.
