As the inheritance tax is regulated by the canton, what happens if you inherit a company registered outside Switzerland which holds assets in Switzerland?

Good evening

You should ask a tax specialist, might be complex.

Or ask the cantonal tax authorities. They should be able to answer your question.

Best regards

Swiss inheritance taxes, like those in many other countries, are levied in the place where the deceased person last resided. The location of their assets is irrelevant AFAIK. But like Versicherungscrack said, it's best to ask a tax expert.
