Net Dividend Income (Swiss Withholding Tax)
Switzerland applies a 35% Swiss Federal Withholding Tax (Verrechnungssteuer) on cash dividends distributed by Swiss corporations:
Swisscom
Withholding Tax (35%)=CHF 260,000×0.35=CHF 91,000
Net Payout=CHF 260,000−CHF 91,000=CHF 169,000 per year
- Tax Reclaim: Swiss residents declare the gross dividend income on their annual tax return to receive a 100% refund or credit for the CHF 91,000 withholding tax. Foreign investors can reclaim part or all of this tax depending on the double taxation treaty (DTT) between their country of residence and Switzerland.
At recent market prices (trading around CHF 500–550 per share), acquiring 10,000 shares represents an investment of roughly CHF 5 to 5.5 million, yielding an annual gross cash flow of CHF 260,000 (~4.7% dividend yield).
