ISA Equivalent

Hi All,

I'm trying to find equvalent of Stock and Shares ISA in CH.

This account exist in UK ( https://www.gov.uk/individual-savings-accounts ) and i'm wondering if similar exist in CH.

Do you have any knowledge in this topic?

Best wishes,

You want an investment account that is tax free I guess?

Capital gains are already tax free in Switzerland so long as you aren’t trading. Sadly there isn’t a solution for tax free dividend income.

There is the pillar 3a pension, but that is more like a very restricted SIPP and you can only put c. CHF 6.9k pa into it and you cannot invest in individual securities. Best two providers are Finpension and VIAC.

Yes, that's something what I'm looking for.

What condition do I need to fulfil to be perceived as trader?

Half way down the article are the 5 criteria

Thanks a lot. That is very useful info.

Six months on /wallstreetbets and now i'm a professional trader.

Story of my 2021 life... Good news! You don't have to worry about being a professional trader when you are making massive losses though! (i think, unlike the horror stories in the US where you can be net negative on the year and still have to pay $1m in taxes)
