Deloitte Switzerland’s National Tax Office is the firm’s competence centre for complex tax matters and emerging developments in Swiss and international taxation. Its areas of expertise include corporate and individual taxation, transfer pricing, Pillar Two, and procedural and criminal tax law.

The team provides technical support to the tax practice in its day-to-day client work. It also monitors developments in tax legislation, court decisions and tax administration practice, and delivers technical updates and training to colleagues across the Swiss tax practice. In addition, the National Tax Office supports the development of young tax professionals and leads the strategy for learning, development and knowledge management in the age of AI.
