By using this website, submitting an enquiry, booking a consultation or engaging GVSTAX services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise agreed in writing.

GVSTAX provides professional advisory services in the areas of:

• Swiss company formation 
• Domicile in Zug 
• Swiss tax advisory 
• Personal and business tax preparation 
• Accounting and bookkeeping coordination 
• Financial statements and reporting support 
• Swiss and EU VAT advisory 
• International tax and cross-border advisory 
• Business setup and compliance coordination 

The exact scope of services is defined by the relevant offer, engagement letter, mandate confirmation, invoice, booking description or written agreement.

Information published on this website is for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, audit, financial or investment advice.

A client relationship is created only when GVSTAX expressly accepts a mandate or confirms an engagement in writing. Website use, form submission, email contact, consultation booking or downloading material does not by itself create a formal advisory mandate.

Consultations may be booked through the website, booking tool, email or other communication channels made available by GVSTAX.

Clients are responsible for providing accurate booking information and for attending appointments on time. If the consultation is held online, the client is responsible for ensuring a functioning internet connection, appropriate device and access to the meeting link.

GVSTAX may reschedule or decline appointments where necessary, including for availability, conflict-of-interest, compliance or professional reasons.

Where GVSTAX issues an Expat Expo or similar promotional voucher, the following terms apply unless otherwise stated:

• The CHF 100 voucher is equivalent to a 30-minute introductory consulting session. 
• The voucher is valid for new clients only. 
• The voucher may be used once per client. 
• The voucher is not redeemable for cash. 
• The voucher cannot be combined with other offers. 
• The voucher applies only to an introductory consultation and not to filings, registrations, document preparation, full advisory reviews or implementation work. 
• Any further work will be subject to a separate offer, engagement confirmation or fee arrangement. 

GVSTAX may request the voucher code or a copy of the voucher before confirming the consultation.

Clients are responsible for providing complete, accurate and timely information, documents and instructions.

GVSTAX may rely on information provided by the client or by third parties instructed by the client without independent verification, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Clients remain responsible for reviewing documents, filings, tax returns, reports, calculations and recommendations before submission or implementation.

Clients are also responsible for meeting legal, tax, accounting, VAT, commercial register, banking and other regulatory deadlines unless GVSTAX has expressly agreed in writing to assume a specific deadline-related task.

Fees are agreed in the relevant offer, booking page, engagement confirmation, invoice or written agreement.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are in Swiss francs and exclusive of VAT, expenses, third-party charges and official fees.

Invoices are payable within the payment period stated on the invoice. If no payment period is stated, invoices are payable within 10 days from the invoice date.

GVSTAX may request advance payment, retainer payments or payment on account before beginning or continuing work.

Third-party costs, such as notary fees, commercial register fees, bank charges, translation costs, courier costs, software costs or external professional fees, are borne by the client unless otherwise agreed.

Consultations may be rescheduled free of charge if notice is given at least 24 hours before the appointment.

If a client cancels less than 24 hours before the appointment or does not attend, GVSTAX may charge the consultation fee or treat the voucher as redeemed.

For project work, cancellation terms may be set out in the relevant offer or engagement confirmation. GVSTAX may invoice work already performed, time reserved, expenses incurred and third-party costs committed before cancellation.

GVSTAX provides services with professional care and in accordance with the agreed scope.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, GVSTAX does not guarantee a specific tax outcome, authority decision, commercial register approval, bank account opening, VAT registration, refund approval, audit result or other third-party decision.

Timelines may depend on the client’s responsiveness, third-party providers, authorities, banks, notaries or other external factors outside GVSTAX’s control.

GVSTAX treats client information confidentially, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, professional and contractual obligations.

Confidential information may be disclosed where required by law, by competent authorities, for professional compliance purposes, to external service providers involved in the mandate, or with the client’s consent.

Clients are also expected to keep confidential any non-public information, templates, tools, methods, recommendations and documents provided by GVSTAX.

GVSTAX processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.

The Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, used, stored and disclosed in connection with the website, consultations and services.

All website content, texts, graphics, templates, checklists, guides, presentations, reports, concepts, methods and other materials created by GVSTAX are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, GVSTAX retains all intellectual property rights in its work products, methods, templates and know-how.

Clients receive a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use deliverables for their own internal or agreed business purposes only. Similar restrictions are commonly used in professional services terms for deliverables and associated know-how. 

GVSTAX may coordinate with third parties, such as notaries, banks, commercial registers, tax authorities, VAT authorities, software providers, fiduciaries, lawyers, auditors, translators, IT providers or other professionals.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, GVSTAX is not responsible for the acts, omissions, delays, decisions, fees or availability of third parties.

Third-party providers may have their own terms, fees and privacy policies.

GVSTAX makes reasonable efforts to keep the website available and accurate. However, the website may be unavailable temporarily due to maintenance, technical issues or third-party provider interruptions.

The website may contain links to external websites. GVSTAX is not responsible for the content, security, availability or data practices of third-party websites.

GVSTAX is liable only for direct damages caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence, and only to the extent permitted by mandatory law.

To the extent permitted by law, GVSTAX excludes liability for indirect damages, consequential damages, loss of profit, loss of business opportunity, loss of data, reputational damage or damages caused by third parties, client omissions, incomplete information or delayed instructions.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes liability where exclusion is prohibited by mandatory Swiss law. Under Swiss law, a pre-agreed exclusion of liability for unlawful intent or gross negligence is void. 

Tax, accounting, VAT and company formation matters depend on facts, documents, applicable law, authority practice and third-party decisions.

GVSTAX does not guarantee that a specific tax treatment, authority position, registration, refund, deduction, ruling, bank approval or commercial outcome will be achieved.

Any estimates, projections, risk assessments or planning recommendations are based on the information available at the time and may change if facts, laws, rates, authority practice or client circumstances change.

GVSTAX may decline or terminate a mandate where a conflict of interest, compliance issue, insufficient documentation, non-payment, reputational concern or other professional reason exists.

GVSTAX may also refuse work that is outside its competence, outside the agreed scope or inconsistent with applicable legal, regulatory or professional obligations.

Either party may terminate an ongoing mandate in writing, unless otherwise agreed.

Upon termination, the client remains responsible for payment of work performed, expenses incurred and third-party costs committed up to the termination date.

GVSTAX may retain documents, deliverables or work products to the extent permitted by law until outstanding invoices are paid.

GVSTAX may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time.

The version published on the website applies to website use and new engagements unless otherwise agreed in writing.

These Terms and Conditions are governed by Swiss law.

The place of jurisdiction, subject to mandatory legal provisions, is Zug, Switzerland.
