USTAXFS

About USTAXFS

Specialising exclusively in United States tax, this firm has been working for more than three decades and operates from Zurich, Geneva and London. Its Swiss teams look after American citizens, green-card holders and other US-connected people living in Switzerland, many of whom are expatriates themselves, and deal with local documents and cantonal practice. Beyond private clients the practice covers trusts and family offices, pensions held abroad, estate and gift planning, investment funds, partnerships, and companies from Europe that want to enter the American market or must comply with FATCA and common reporting rules. Work is delivered by US and UK tax accountants and US attorneys, and the firm belongs to an international network of independent advisers. It does not offer company incorporation in Switzerland, and its published material is in English, with no fee schedule shown online.
