Effective January 1, 2025, the Swiss government's suspension of India's Most Favored Nation (MFN) status may increase tax liabilities for Indian entities in Switzerland. This move highlights the complexities of international tax treaties as countries like India adopt stricter interpretations to safeguard domestic revenues. It emphasizes the need for treaty partners to align on tax treaty interpretations to ensure stability and predictability in the global tax framework.
Switzerland will suspend the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status in its Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement with India, effective January 1, 2025, following a 2023 Indian Supreme Court ruling. This decision will revert the withholding tax on dividends from Swiss entities to 10%, impacting Swiss investments and increasing tax liabilities for Indian companies with Swiss subsidiaries. Legal experts warn that this shift underscores the complexities of international tax treaties and may deter future Swiss investments in India.
Switzerland has revoked the most favoured nation (MFN) status for India, following a Supreme Court ruling that deemed the MFN clause inapplicable without proper notification. Starting January 1, 2025, Indian entities will face a higher withholding tax on income generated in Switzerland, with dividends taxed at 10%, up from 5%. This decision reflects a significant shift in bilateral tax treaty dynamics and may increase tax liabilities for Indian companies operating in Switzerland.

Switzerland has suspended the most favoured nation (MFN) status for India under their tax treaty, effective January 1, 2025, following a Supreme Court ruling that affects the enforcement of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). This change will result in higher withholding taxes for Indian companies operating in Switzerland, particularly impacting firms like Nestle. The Swiss authorities cited a lack of reciprocity in tax treatment as the reason for this decision, which may prompt other countries to adopt similar measures.
Switzerland has suspended the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) clause in its Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with India, effective January 1, 2025, following an Indian Supreme Court ruling that requires a notification for the MFN clause to apply. This decision could lead to higher taxes on dividends for Swiss companies operating in India and may jeopardize a $100 billion investment commitment under the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) deal. The Swiss government cited a lack of reciprocity in the DTAA as the reason for this significant shift in bilateral treaty dynamics.
Switzerland has revoked India's 'Most Favoured Nation' status, ending a 30-year double taxation agreement, which will lead to higher taxes for Indian entities operating in Switzerland starting January 1, 2025. This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling regarding Nestlé SA, indicating that Switzerland's tax rate reduction on dividends does not require reciprocal action from India without a formal notification. The change could significantly impact investments, as dividends will be taxed at the original rate of 10%.
