Untangling the UK/Swiss Knot: Moving to Switzerland from the UK

This is the story of Heidi who is Swiss, and Henry, a Brit. In this podcast series we explore issues faced by this international couple, their businesses and their assets in a UK/Switzerland cross-border context. We will follow their story in good times and in bad times, to untangle the legal knots and help them spot opportunities.

Heidi wants Henry to move to Switzerland before they get married. Henry needs to know what his options are, and what he needs to think about before he moves. Does he need a visa and/or a ‘lump sum’ tax arrangement? What about his family trusts? Can he continue working for his UK family business from Switzerland? What pre-location steps should he be taking?
