A Swiss GmbH needs a share capital of CHF 20,000, paid into a blocked bank account before the notarial deed; it remains the company's money. The price covers the formation work and the official fees, not the capital.
Taxes depend on the canton: from about 11.9 % to 21 % for all corporate taxes combined. A Swiss GmbH also needs a Swiss address and at least one managing director who lives in Switzerland.
