1 EXECUTIVE MASTER IN INTERNATIONAL TAXATION (LL.M.) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEUCHÂTEL, SWITZERLAND THE NEW LIECHTENSTEIN TAX LAW RULES OF THE GAME IN THE NEW DECADE 2012
2 COURSE CONTENT This seminar will address the new Liechtenstein tax system entered into force on 1 January 2011 by way of comparison to the equivalent Swiss tax provisions. In particular, it will be systematically demonstrated that the Liechtenstein tax regime better complies with EU State Aid requirements and OECD standards than the Swiss tax regime as per today. In addition, the seminar will analyse cross-border taxcompliant planning structures between Liechtenstein and Switzerland for individuals and corporations (including trusts, foundations, partnerships and collective investment schemes), and the practical uses of Double Tax Conventions by Liechtenstein collective investment schemes, trust structures and foundations. In particular, attention will be paid to the Liechtenstein foundation, which has been prominent in the Swiss financial centre for over a decade due to its economic benefits and its practical uses for high net worth individuals as an instrument for private wealth management and estate planning. Liechtenstein foundations are often proposed by Swiss banks as a useful estate and tax planning instrument, though Switzerland has not addressed the tax problems arising from foreign foundations in its domestic tax law systematically. In fact, the tax treatment of Liechtenstein foundations is not even harmonized across Switzerland, and may vary according to cantonal practices. Their use is, accordingly, surrounded by considerable controversy. BIOGRAPHY Lic. iur. Roland A. Pfister, EMBA (roland_pfister@gmx.ch) Roland A. Pfister studied law at the Universities of Neuchâtel and Granada. After the completion of his law degree, he worked for an international law firm in Belgium and a leading investment bank in Zurich, and then joined the tax department of one of the Big Four accounting firms in Switzerland. In 2008, Roland A. Pfister started his doctoral thesis in international tax law while working at the University Liechtenstein, where he teaches National and International Tax Law. During that time, he obtained additionally an Executive MBA in Wealth Management and was a visiting researcher at the Harvard Law School. In 2011, he started working as tax advisor of Tavernier Tschanz in Geneva. Further, he lectures for the International Tax Program (LL.M.) of the University of Neuchâtel, for the International Tax Program (LL.M.) of the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Buenos Aires, for the International Tax Program (LL.M.) at the Brazilian Institute of Tax Law (IBDT) and for the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). In the context of the OECD and the Italian Council of Ministers, he wrote the Swiss report for the IBFD on "Residence of Individuals under Tax Treaties and EC Law". His main areas of expertise include Swiss, Liechtenstein and international tax law for individuals and corporations as well as collective investment schemes, trusts and foundations.
