In such cases, careful attention has to be paid not only to Swiss tax laws, but also to the specific provisions of applicable Double Taxation Agreements as well as to the OECD Model Convention. Therefore, we would like to give a short overview on how the different forms of internationally performing athletes’ income are treated under international and Swiss tax law and outline the potential of a reliable and competent support.
