Financial Advisory - Taxation

The marginal tax rate is key

A marginal tax rate of 30% would mean that for every CHF 1000 of extra income, you would pay CHF 300 to the taxman. However, by taking steps to reduce your income, you can achieve savings on the marginal tax rate.

The higher the marginal tax rate, the greater the tax savings impact you can achieve by taking specific steps to reduce your taxable income.
