Matthias Steiner

Matthias Steiner structures Swiss holding companies and intermediate entities for international groups out of the Switzerland Firma Zug office. His engagements typically begin with a tax-efficiency mapping, comparing Zug's ~11.85% combined effective rate against alternatives like Lucerne or Schwyz, and laying out the participation-exemption qualifying conditions for the client's existing group structure.

From there he handles the formation, the ongoing Swiss GAAP FER accounting, and quarterly VAT returns with the Federal Tax Administration. He also manages AMLA-compliant nominee director engagements via the firm's affiliation with a Zug-based recognised SRO. Matthias works principally with international holding clients in German and English.
