Real Estate Transactions

For the purpose of tax optimisation and to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is recommended that you come to an agreement with your tax adviser on the following: the form of legal entity as the purchaser (natural person or legal entity), the object of purchase (e.g. shares in a real estate company instead of direct acquisition, applicable cantonal real estate law) and transactions and accounting actions outside the realms of normal day-to-day business.
