Do I have to include money kept in bank accounts outside of Switzerland when I list my personal wealth on a Swiss tax form?

Hi there,

The wealth declaration in your tax return must include your total worldwide assets - not just those held in Switzerland.

Switzerland has mutual tax agreements with many countries, and if you have already paid tax on your assets in another country, you may not have to pay tax on those assets in Switzerland. However, you are obliged to declare them on your Swiss tax return.

Best regards from Moneyguru
