Liability & Criminal Aspects of Tax Obligations for Company Executives
ACC Europe & Pestalozzi Breakfast Briefing
What happens when CEOs or board members fail to disclose tax-relevant facts? How far does personal liability extend – and when do oversights turn into criminal offenses?
In this Breakfast Briefing, Jonas Sigrist and Remo Keller, Partners at Pestalozzi, will explore the legal risks company executives and board members face in connection with tax obligations. With increased scrutiny by Swiss tax authorities at both the federal and cantonal level, the potential for personal liability and even criminal prosecution is growing.
Through real-world case studies, they will discuss key responsibilities, proactive compliance measures, and documentation requirements for executives. The presentation will conclude with an open Q&A and a networking breakfast in a confidential setting.
The event is hosted by Pestalozzi and Association of Corporate Counsel Europe (ACC Europe) and will be conducted in English.
