Switzerland 
Do I need to pay taxes in Switzerland on my Swiss bank account?

There are no taxes on your Swiss bank account in Switzerland with only 3 exceptions:

  1. Swiss withholding tax is payable on a few investments (Read more ...)
  2. US persons need to report their account to the IRS (Read more ...)
  3. EU residents have to pay a withholding tax on the interest income of certain investments. (Read more ...)

The country where you live may ask you to pay taxes on your Swiss bank account if you report it on your tax statement.
