Notable Zurich- and Switzerland-headquartered companies: luxury, pharma, banking and the holding companies that anchor them.
Switzerland's 26 cantons compete on corporate tax rates, producing effective combined rates from 12% (Zug, Nidwalden) to 21% (Bern, Geneva) for trading companies. The two primary entity forms are AG (Aktiengesellschaft, public limited) and GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschrankter Haftung, private limited). Federal tax is uniform at 8.5% but cantonal and municipal layers vary sharply. Switzerland remains the domicile of choice for family offices, commodity traders, and global pharma majors like Roche and Novartis.
