Switzerland has welcomed a significant number of foreign companies in recent years that have chosen our country as their European business center. Among the best known are Yahoo!, Sunstar, Medtronic, Honeywell, etc. In addition to these "blockbusters", many American, British, Dutch, Luxembourg, French, Russian and other groups have chosen Switzerland to set up one or more companies.
These companies operate either as:
- Operations Center ("Main" Company);
- Headquarters;
- Operational center and headquarters;
- Or mixed company in the context of international tax planning.
Switzerland is also frequently used as a European center to set up a holding or trading company. The large number of double tax treaties concluded by Switzerland ensures an efficient and favorable dividend remittance compared to other jurisdictions, while maintaining an attractive tax regime.
