Taxation

Are you considering how to optimize your company’s tax burden? You have already made an important decision in electing to establish a principal office in Canton Aargau. Thanks to its advantageous taxation system, Aargau is an ideal enterprise location and canton of residence for private persons. A comparison with other Swiss cantons shows that the tax burden in Aargau lies below the Swiss average.

In addition, the Cantonal Council of Aargau can grant taxation relief to enterprises for a maximum period of ten years. On the one hand, companies newly founded in Canton Aargau can profit from this. On the other hand, enterprises already domiciled in Canton Aargau can receive the benefit of taxation relief if they essentially expand their operational activity. Prerequisite is that the new business activities not directly compete with domiciled companies, that new jobs and apprenticeship positions be created, and that there be special public or general economic interest in this entrepreneurial activity and investment. The taxation relief consists in a percentage reduction of assessed tax amounts.
