Owning property in Switzerland is a tax position, not just an address.
Eigenmietwert, mortgage and maintenance deductions, property-gains tax, second homes and holiday lets — Swiss property taxation rewards owners who plan and penalises those who don’t. We hand-match you to advisors who know the local rules.
Where owners leave money on the table
Property tax is local, technical, and full of timing decisions.
Imputed rental value
Eigenmietwert adds notional rental income to your return. Offsetting it correctly with deductions is where advisors earn their fee.
Maintenance vs. value-adding
Maintenance is deductible; value-adding renovation generally is not — until you sell. The classification, and its timing, matters.
Property-gains tax
Selling triggers a separate cantonal gains tax that falls sharply with holding period. Planning the sale changes the bill.
Second homes & lets
Holiday homes and rental property bring extra cantonal rules, and sometimes cross-cantonal apportionment.

Two identical houses, two different owners, two very different tax bills — the gap is almost always advice.
