Is Your Wealth Ready to Leave Switzerland?

Leaving Switzerland Doesn't Always End Swiss Tax Exposure

Your Swiss pension, investments and wider wealth don't automatically follow you when you relocate - and what happens next depends entirely on where you're going, not just that you're leaving.

If you're relocating to the UK, US, Australia, or elsewhere in the EU, you may be facing:

A Pillar 2 pension decision with different rules depending on your destination

A vested benefits account you didn't choose and may not suit you

Double taxation risk on your lump-sum withdrawal

A cross-border tax position that needs reviewing before, not after, you move

Whether you can withdraw your full Pillar 2 pension in cash, or only part of it, depends on exactly where you're relocating to - the difference between an EU and a non-EU destination like the UK, US or Australia is significant.

with the right advice before you leave, your Swiss wealth can move with you efficiently. The damage happens when people wait until after they've already relocated.

How Skybound Wealth Can help

‍

Pre-Departure Wealth Review

Get a full review of your Swiss pensions, investments and wider wealth before you relocate, so your financial structure is ready for your next country, not left behind.

Cross-Border Tax Planning

Clarify how Switzerland and your destination country will each tax your pension withdrawal, investments and wider wealth - and plan to avoid paying tax twice on the same income.

Vested Benefits Account Review

If your Pillar 2 hasn't transferred to a new employer, Swiss law requires it to sit in a vested benefits account. We help you choose the right one instead of accepting a default that may not suit you.

Pillar 2 Pension Planning

Understand exactly what happens to your Pillar 2 pension when you leave - including whether you can withdraw it in full or only the supra-mandatory portion, depending on your destination country.

Impressed with both his professionalism and his knowledge

I have had the pleasure of working with Kane, recently and I have been impressed with both his professionalism and his knowledge. I am already seeing a nice return on my investments and a large portion of that is down to Kane. Long may it continue.

Adam was an absolute professional

My experience with Adam was a great one. The time spent making sure I understood what was required and the willingness to look for suitable products was impressive. The most commendable thing about working with him was how transparent he was. That's not very common place when choosing financial advisors. Nothing was hidden behind fine prints because he took the pain to explain them.
