Projectos Seminar – U.S. Tax Fundamentals for Swiss Tax Advisors – Structure, Risks, and Practical Implications | May 5, 2026

The U.S. tax system is regarded by international advisors as one of the most complex and formalistic tax systems in the world. Swiss tax advisors, asset managers, trustees, and family offices face significant advisory risks whenever U.S. persons, U.S. assets, or U.S. income are involved. The goal is to establish a clear systemic understanding—not detailed knowledge of U.S. tax law, but a robust awareness of risks for practical application.
