How Can Foreign Shareholders Recover Dividend Withholding Tax on Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA Withholding Dividend Tax Distributions?

1. Richemont Dividend Withholding Tax pays your distribution

Swiss law requires 35% to be withheld from all dividends before payment reaches you, regardless of where in the world you are based.

2. Your double tax treaty entitles you to less

Under your country’s treaty with Switzerland, your effective rate is likely lower than 35%. The difference is sitting with the Swiss tax authorities, legally yours to recover.

3. GTR files the reclaim with the Swiss Federal Tax Administration

We manage all documentation, correspondence and filing. You provide the data. We handle everything else, and only charge once we successfully recover.

How Does Withholding Tax Work?

When Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA Withholding Dividend Tax (Swiss Domiciled Company) pays a dividend of CHF 1000 – it immediately gets taxed at the Swiss Statutory Tax Rate of 35% (CHF 350) irrespective of who the shareholder is.

However due to a Double Tax Agreement between Switzerland and various other countries, foreign residents are entitled to the preferential Double Tax Agreement Rate of 15% (CHF 150).

Therefore, the differential of CHF 200 (CHF 350 – CHF 150) is recoverable in its entirety, but is retained by the Foreign Tax Office until all the complex administrative procedures and filing requirements are met.
