Tax Aspects of Financial Restructurings

Waivers of claims by shareholders: The accounting treatment is decisive for the exemption from Swiss corporate income tax.
The accounting treatment of waiver income is crucial for determining its exemption from Swiss corporate income tax. Recently, the Swiss federal tax authorities issued a new circular letter (number 32a) addressing the financial restructuring of corporations and cooperatives. According to this guidance, waiver income from shareholders that is directly recorded in the company’s equity should always be exempt from Swiss corporate income tax.
