    Life events — arriving, job change, property purchase, marriage, children, retirement — reshape your Swiss tax, insurance, and pension obligations. This hub links to Avenzo's detailed English-language guides for the events that matter most to expats and Swiss residents. Each page cites official Swiss sources (BAG, BSV, ESTV) and includes worked CHF examples.

    Key Life Events and Their Swiss Tax Implications

    • Arriving in Switzerland — withholding tax registration, mandatory health insurance, Pillar 3a eligibility from day one
    • Job change and pension — Pillar 2 (BVG) transfer, vested benefits account (Freizügigkeitskonto), up to 6 months to move the capital
    • Pension fund withdrawal — WEF for property, retirement, emigration, self-employment — with canton-by-canton tax comparison
    • Save taxes throughout life — 10 strategies across income, family, property, and relocation
    • Leaving Switzerland — pension withdrawal rules depending on EU/EFTA or non-EU destination

    Each linked guide is reviewed annually and cites admin.ch sources. This page is a navigation hub — detailed CHF figures and worked examples live on the linked pages.
