This Christmas edition invites us to explore timeless investment principles, guiding lights for both our portfolios and our growth. ⏳𝐄𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 The past offers valuable context, but it cannot dictate what lies ahead. It shapes the path, but it is the future that holds the promise of what we can create. 🔔𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 Now is the moment to act with purpose. The present holds the power to define the future, where bold steps and thoughtful decisions create tomorrow's success. 🚀𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 In investing, hard work and a well-formulated strategy do not guarantee success. Markets often operate in ways that defy logic, rewarding patience over precision or intuition over effort. A flexible mindset and a willingness to adapt can be more valuable than any rigid plan. 🔮As we reflect on these principles, it is important to remember that true control over our financial journey comes from being equipped to make the right decisions, with a steady hand on the wheel of your choices.

🪞 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲... 🪞 🪟𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝-𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐬 In the 18th century, taxes on windows transformed architecture itself. More windows meant more tax, so many homeowners opted to brick up their openings, giving rise to a peculiar style in buildings that we can still observe today. This window tax, a predecessor of today's property tax, illustrates the unexpected consequences that tax changes can have, extending even to architectural design. 🧂𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐭 Salt, a fundamental commodity, became the centerpiece of one of the most powerful acts of civil disobedience in #history. When the British colonial government imposed a salt tax in India, Mahatma #Gandhi led the famous #SaltMarch in 1930. It was not just about salt. It was a stand against an unfair system. The salt tax teaches us how deeply taxation is tied to power structures and the social movements that resist them. Similarly, the 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐠𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞, a highly unpopular salt tax established in the mid-14th century, played a key role in the French Revolution. It was only after World War II, in 1946, that the gabelle was finally abolished, illustrating how deeply rooted taxes can shape political change over centuries. 📜𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐲 The Stamp Act of 1765 imposed taxes on printed materials, from newspapers to playing cards, fueling resentment and protest across the American colonies. It became a rallying cry for "no taxation without representation" and contributed to the #AmericanRevolution, showcasing how taxes can spark far-reaching political change. 🪞 𝐀 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 Imagine being taxed for your fashion choices. In #1698, Peter the Great declared war on beards. So, he imposed a beard tax. Those who clung to their facial hair had to pay up and carry a token, a literal license to beard. While the tax might seem eccentric, it was Peter’s bold attempt to reshape societal norms with razor-sharp determination. ✨𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Throughout history, taxes have always shaped our world in ways we often overlook. #Carbon taxes and digital asset regulations are today’s evolving examples, demonstrating how taxation continues to influence innovation, behavior, and even the way we think about value. ✨As the year ends and a new season begins, these stories remind us that taxes are more than governance tools. They allow us to view taxation as a dynamic force influencing human behavior, innovation, and societal structures. ✨𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤.

📈 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲:  𝐒𝐅𝐓𝐀 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐝𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐀𝐎 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 📈 Today the Eidgenössische Steuerverwaltung ESTV (SFTA) has published new tax dossiers for 2024 inter alia one about the 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. This might seem niche but is relevant to the Web3 space as these structures are often used as legal wrappers for #DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations). For Swiss investors and projects using DAOs with Swiss associations or foundations as legal wrappers, understanding this guidance is essential for compliance and strategic planning. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 ➕ Overview of tax rates: The dossier provides clarity on the taxation of foundations and associations on federal level as well as in the different Swiss cantons. In the overview the applicable income tax rates are provided. ➕ Allowances: It outlines the tax-free allowances that apply to foundations and associations, giving insights into thresholds for tax liability. ➕ No changes in Zug and on federal level: The overview reveals significant variations in tax rates. While the federal tax rate remains at 4.25% with a tax-free allowance of CHF 5,000, cantonal rates range from as low as 1% to as high as 6.5%. Higher cantonal rates typically come with more generous allowances, which can exceed CHF 20,000. For reference, in our #CryptoValley Zug a rate of 3.5% with a tax-free allowance of CHF 10k still applies. 𝐀 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ⚓ While we are on the subject of DAOs: Non-commercial projects often apply the so-called cost-plus taxation rules. This method calculates taxable profit as a 5% markup on yearly expenses. ⚓ As we approach year-end, the focus shifts to preparing 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and, further ahead, filing 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬. For projects operating under cost-plus rules, 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 play a critical role. Outlining expected costs and resource allocations, they must be included with the tax return. ⚓ However, 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, they are essential for sound business planning. They help structure and allocate resources effectively while meeting the requirements for tax filings. Proactive planning is essential to maintain compliance and ensure operational clarity.

This prompted challenges to the vote’s validity discussed, by the federal court yesterday.

The Philosopher’s Stone, in its symbolic interpretation, represents wisdom, enlightenment, and the quest for the world soul or inner truth. Bitcoin, in many ways, mirrors this pursuit.

Much like the alchemists of old, Bitcoin represents a shift from opaque systems to ones rooted in transparency and innovation, a potential modern Philosopher’s Stone for our digital age. 🌐 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐨𝐧 As one of the most thought-provoking sessions, the panel discussion “Exploring the World of #DeFi on #Bitcoin,” featuring an impressive mix of participants, including a professional 𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐦𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐫 highlighted the innovative and unexpected paths that drive transformation in the Bitcoin space. It also raised questions about the challenges of managing bad actors in this space, thoughtfully addressed by Evgeny Gaevoy from Wintermute. Considering the prevalence of cryptocurrency investment scams, which have become a significant problem worldwide as reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) highlight, it is imperative to create robust safeguards and enforce collective accountability. These discussions reminded me of the 𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬’ 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, efforts to protect their work while seeking transformative breakthroughs.

This global phenomenon is redefining the way we approach innovation, foster collaboration, and exchange ideas in an era of rapid technological and societal transformation. 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬  The maker movement thrives on the idea that shared knowledge multiplies value. Makers embrace open designs, ideas, and solutions, creating a ripple effect of growth and innovation. It is a mindset that challenges traditional notions of ownership and encourages a spirit of abundance over competition. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧  In collaboration with the amazing Women in Web3 Switzerland (WiW3CH) Kamila Michalkiewicz, Naafi Harwanti, Andra-Maria Maute and Alysa Kodisch we delve into how this movement inspires individuals to take on the role of creators, transforming traditional approaches to problem-solving and innovation. Our exploration also highlights its far-reaching influence on education, business practices, and the development of thriving, collaborative communities. 𝐀 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞  The maker movement is a shift in how we collaborate, innovate, and share success. It urges us to reflect and ask: 💫 How can we better support creators in a world driven by open innovation? 💫What structures and policies can we build to foster greater creativity, inclusivity, and collective progress? 𝐀𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 On a side note, the movement’s collaborative and open nature also got me thinking about the future of our tax frameworks. Questions come to mind like: 🌟 How can fiscal systems evolve to support shared intellectual property, community-driven R&D and equitable access to resources? 🌟 What steps can policymakers take to align tax policies with the principles of innovation-driven economies? These are key areas to explore as we align policies with innovation-driven economies. ✨ Discover more about this fascinating movement in Swiss Ladies Drive.

🎲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 +𝟏: 𝐓𝐚𝐱-𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬  𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 🎲 On Friday, Stéphanie Fuchs Consulting reported live from the Czech Republic during the #emergence conference about a significant change in their tax policy: the abolition of capital gains tax on long-term Bitcoin holdings. For all Swiss investors, this serves as a reminder not to take tax-free capital gains for granted and not to jeopardize them carelessly. Let us dive deeper into the concept of tax-free capital gains and the critical factors to consider. ♠️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐳𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜'𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 The Czech Republic’s policy, effective January 1, 2025, introduces significant changes to its crypto tax framework: 🔸 Capital gains tax abolished:  Digital assets held for over three years, including Bitcoin, will be exempt from capital gains tax, aligning cryptocurrencies with traditional securities. 🔸Encouragement of long-term holding: The policy incentivizes investors to hold assets longer, discouraging speculative trading. 🔸Simplification of taxation: Administrative complexity is reduced, benefiting both investors and tax authorities. However, as the definition of digital assets as well as other aspects of the legislative change still remain unclear, uncertainty persists regarding the full impact. ♦️ 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡: 𝐭𝐚𝐱-𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 A unique feature of the Swiss tax system is that capital gains on privately held movable assets, such as stocks, securities, and certain digital assets, are generally tax-free.  However, any activity that goes beyond simple private wealth management may trigger classification as professional or self-employment activity, i.e. as professional securities or participation dealer, resulting in taxable income and social security treatment. When it comes to digital assets, every detail matters. These three points are critical to navigating the tax landscape effectively: 🔸What does the token represent? 🔸What is the nature of the transaction? Is it a sale, transfer, or another action? 🔸Based on these two question it is then possible to evaluate what are the potential consequences? ♣️ 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 The Czech Republic’s move reflects a global shift toward rethinking how digital assets are taxed and fore and foremost that they are not a niche market ut a fundamental pillar of modern economies. 👉 Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/dQ5QbF3f 👉 Have questions about how these changes might impact your investments?
