Tax Benefits of Swiss Trust Companies

A Swiss trust company that operates outside of Switzerland (e.g., it has no physical assets in the country, with the exception of a mailbox address) pays 0% income and capital gains tax on income generated outside the country. Additionally, 0% withholding tax is levied on non-Swiss nationals. This makes Swiss Trust Companies the ideal solution for minimizing the tax burden of high value transactions, as well as for accepting, keeping, and managing the funds of third parties (Swiss Trusts do not require a license for managing the accounts of up to 10 third parties - and even then, the age and pedigree of an aged Swiss Trust Company usually lead to such licenses being granted quite easily).
