Silvan Amberg, Tax Partner @LEXRÂ
Proactively address token allocations, sales, and decentralized revenue streams to prevent costly surprises.
Minimize income tax, VAT, and corporate tax burdens while ensuring full compliance with Swiss regulations.
Token compensation for founders and teams often leads to unexpected tax burdens due to fluctuating valuations. We’ll design a tax-optimized token allocation plan to minimize liabilities and ensure compliance.
Revenue from token sales is taxable in Switzerland. Our experts guide you in applying the correct accounting treatments and, if needed, securing a tax ruling to confirm corporate tax obligations.
Freelancers or foreign service providers? Reverse-charge VAT often applies but is frequently overlooked. We’ll help you recover Swiss VAT on payments and ensure your business model is VAT-compliant.
Income from decentralized sources, like staking rewards, may attract Swiss VAT. If identifying counterparties isn’t feasible, we’ll establish methods to declare VAT correctly and maximize recoverable amounts.
