Exit tax · Zurich

Leaving Zurich.

No exit tax. Private capital gains are tax free in Switzerland, so a sale after departure is untaxed by the canton you leave. Cantonal tax runs to the day of departure.

What the charge looks like on your number.

Zurich charges nothing on departure. The question is where the sale lands afterward: a move to one of the 36 no capital gains addresses on the board makes a later sale untaxed, a move to a high tax address taxes it in full.

Deferral.

Not applicable.

Where a later sale goes untaxed.
