COSMO
About
PROGRAM Switzerland provides an opportunity to obtain residence
permits for persons of independent means who do not plan to
be employed in Switzerland.
Swiss residence permit can be obtained upon agreeing to pay
an annual lump sum tax. The lump sum tax rate in Switzerland
varies depending on the canton.
Applicant have to select the canton and sign an agreement
confirming the payment of an annual lump sum tax. As a result,
the main applicant and its family can obtain residence in
Switzerland.
The nice thing about Lump Sum Taxation Switzerland is that you
are not taxed on either your actual income or actual wealth.
Only your annual cost of living determines the amount of Lump

BENEFITS
COSMO
1. No more tax returns instead only Lump Sum Taxation
Based on our experience, we always negotiate the best lump sum taxation contract for you. The procedure usually takes 4-6 weeks. In case of urgency, we
offer our clients a “fast track” procedure. It only takes 2 – 3 weeks, including permanent residence permit issued by the Swiss Immigration Authorities. The tax
deal negotiated for you applies to all subsequent tax years. The Tax Ruling replaces all tax returns until you leave Switzerland.
2. Automatic Exchange of Information and Common Reporting Standard (AEOI & CRS)
Moving your effective residence to Switzerland will simultaneously eliminate all of your problems in connection with the. Automatic Exchange of Information
and Common Reporting Standard (AEOI & CRS). Your Swiss bank account will be a private affair. It is not taxable and not reportable. You no longer have to
deal with the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). These OECD treaties and rules are overridden for you
in one fell swoop. Nobody cares how much money you have on your account. As a resident, you benefit from Swiss banking secrecy. Swiss banking secrecy
is a significant part of the concept of privacy among the Swiss population. Swiss banking secrecy is considered as a constitutional right to privacy. For many
Russians and Chinese citizens, the negative consequences in connection with the AEOI & CRS are the main reasons for moving to Switzerland permanently.
3. No riskier offshore-structures required anymore
Once you move to Switzerland, you don’t need anymore complex offshore-structures. Your risky tax loopholes with offshore companies will become
irrelevant. Your doubts as to whether a specific offshore structure is considered to be legal or illegal are definitely gone. Constant worries in connection with
doubtful offshore structures are definitely eliminated with your relocation to Switzerland.
4. The exact tax amount
You will know exactly how much tax you will pay every with agreed Lump Sum Tax. You can be 100 perent sure of the exact amount of tax you will pay every
year. Since 1862, Switzerland is offering tax rulings that work. Finally, you will have the peace of mind you deserve. You will enjoy legal status that you can
count on.DOCUMENTS
