Corporate tax———

Simplified for orientation — capital, tax and timelines vary by entity type, canton/state/zone and your situation. Government and notary fees are billed separately at cost.

Still deciding between two?

Thirty minutes with a strategist and you'll know which country, which entity, and what it costs — end to end.

Anything beyond this scope is billed hourly — support & accompaniment and consulting & expertise, with a written offer before we start. Plus 19% VAT, provided by West Consultings (Germany). Minimum one hour; travel time at the full rate.
