Contact a Swiss-American Tax Expert
This Consulate General of Switzerland provides a list of tax experts here in New York, that are familiar with the U.S. and Swiss tax regulations. This list is provided as a service for which this Consulate General assumes no responsibility. In the event you decide to engage a law firm, you will be expected to conclude your own compensation arrangements with that firm.
