Buying stocks in Switzerland – Do I have to pay tax on share gains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you ask yourself “Do shares and capital gains get taxed?”, the answer is not always obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are mainly 3 types of stock taxes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Capital gains<\/a> tax<\/li>
  2. Withholding tax on dividends<\/li>
  3. Withholding tax<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Capital gains are not always tax-free. If you buy stocks and sell them at a profit, you have to pay tax on these gains in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However,\nthere is a way to avoid paying tax on share gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To do this,\nit is important that you are not classified by the tax authorities as a\nprofessional investor in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How do I avoid the status\nas a professional investor in Switzerland?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Nevertheless, you have to declare your shares in your tax return. More information on this can be found in our article on capital gains tax<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition\nto capital gains tax, there is also withholding tax on dividends in Switzerland from\nforeign shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Last but not least, there is the withholding tax<\/a>, which can be considered as a backup tax. Why is this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The withholding tax is 35% and is automatically deducted as security. In order to get it back, you have to declare your share positions when filling in your tax return. This prevents tax evasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note: In connection with buying stocks in Switzerland, there is still stamp duty. However, this is only levied if you use a Swiss trading platform such as Swissquote. There is no stamp duty at DEGIRO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
