Swiss Banking Secret
Switzerland is still the hub of private wealth management companies. Many international investment firms have their head office in Switzerland. There are many reasons why worldwide customers prefer Switzerland.
Swiss banking secret still exists and crime against the banking secret gets punished, as crimes according to the Article 47 of Swiss Federal Act on Banks and Savings Banks, providing customers banking data to third party can be a punishable offence as a crime sentence with of 3 years imprisonment. In addition to this the person who violates the banking secret is responsible to pay for the damages which came due to the fact that he has violated the Secret.
10 years ago these banking secrets were handled very strictly even for international customers and it was nearly impossible to get any information about money in Swiss bank accounts. Due to the fact that Switzerland has signed OECD contracts nowadays they work with foreign governments on money laundering and other heavy crimes, that means that the banking secret is not existing in the "old form" for foreign persons anymore. But still Switzerland tries to avoid giving information about foreign bank accounts and the hurdle for a foreign government to get information about a Swiss bank account is in fact very high.
It cannot be recommended to avoid tax payments or hide accounts. All accounts have to be declared correctly. If you invest in SAMT AG as an international investor SAMT AG will open an account for you with direct tax reporting and payment if this is supported by your home country.
For German investors this is a source tax reporting and direct payment to the German government. Do not worry to open an account in Switzerland, if declared in tax or the source tax is paid automatically there is absolutely no problem with it.
