Key advantages of investing offshore into the Switzerland residence market

TONI ENDERLI Sales Director Lauchernalp Resort , Switzerland

I

am a keen skier , and I am looking to invest in a destination where I can get the benefit of both the snow skiing lifestyle but more importantly that gives me maximum benefits within that particular country or investment destination . I have identified Switzerland as a place where I can both invest but also get the benefits of living there part-time in an area where I can get both the lifestyle and the benefits you get from investing in property offshore . What are the key benefits of investing in Switzerland , the type of properties , typical returns , and investment benefits such as tax , etc .

Switzerland is a proud nation that emphasizes family , tradition , and a love of the outdoors .....

Switzerland is a dream destination to both live and invest in . In fact , Switzerland has been named ‘ the best country in the world ’ several years in a row . It is one of the most immigrant-friendly countries in Europe and the most sought after by businessmen because of its high standards of living , political neutrality , world-class infrastructure , and beautiful landscape . It has been an ideal destination for retired people , business investors and wealthy individuals .
Switzerland ’ s taxation system , geographic and political position , low inflation , highly skilled professionals as well as its competitive business environment are all factors that make it a country of preference for investors . The economic stability of Switzerland must be the envy of all nations !
Switzerland is also an attractive business centre for companies , due to its business model that aims to provide the ideal framework for the foreign investors . As a result , about 30 % of the world ’ s biggest brands have offices in this country . In fact , 15 Fortune 500 Companies such as Glencore International , Nestle , Novartis , Roche Group or ABB have the headquarters in Switzerland .
“ In an unstable global economy , Switzerland is a popular safe haven for investors due to its political neutrality , policy stability , strong currency and low levels of inflation and unemployment . South Africans can now invest in this stable , year-round destination for the first time . It ’ s a great legacy investment for families as there are no death duties ,” said Toni
