Lump-Sum Taxation — a Swiss regime available only to the select
Lump-sum taxation is a unique fiscal mechanism that Switzerland extends to a carefully selected circle of non-residents. It is not based on the size of one’s capital or the architecture of one’s assets, but on one’s level of annual expenditure — an approach that delivers exceptional predictability, long-term stability and complete confidentiality of one’s financial life.
This regime is chosen by individuals who value not only its fiscal advantages, but above all the calm, privacy and ability to live in a country defined by an impeccable reputation, a rigorous legal culture and the highest standards of service. For established individuals, this is far more than a tax model. It is a way to experience Swiss quality of life without relinquishing freedom, flexibility or international mobility.
Lump-sum taxation allows you to avoid becoming a worldwide tax resident, to preserve the privacy of your asset structure, and to eliminate the need for endless negotiations with authorities and legal teams across jurisdictions. Switzerland evaluates you not through declarations and disclosures, but through trust and strength of your connection to the canton you choose.
Against the backdrop of global restrictions, the lump-sum taxation regime remains one of the last truly accessible instruments for Russian nationals seeking a stable, protected and predictable jurisdiction.
Switzerland offers not only residency, but a rare level of financial quietude — a degree of discretion almost unseen in today’s world.

The key conditions for obtaining Swiss residency under the lump-sum taxation regime:
Switzerland does not grant lump-sum taxation to individuals with legal disputes, opaque financial histories or unclear sources of capital.
Any uncertainty leads to a quiet and definitive refusal.
Lump-sum taxation is not merely a fiscal model. It is a form of trust.
- The applicant must not be a Swiss citizen and must not work in Switzerland as an employee. Lump-sum taxation is intended for financially independent individuals, not for those seeking employment within the country.
- A minimum taxable base ranging from CHF 250,000 to CHF 1,000,000. Depending on the canton, the applicant’s level of expenditure, and the outcome of negotiations with the authorities. This threshold is not a tariff — it is a reflection of one’s established lifestyle and financial consistency.
- Residence in Switzerland must be genuine — a cultural choice, not a formality. A lump-sum taxpayer is expected to spend a meaningful part of the year in Switzerland, integrate into the rhythm of local life, and respect the norms and expectations of the chosen canton.
- Absolute legal integrity.
