What is the stamp duty?
In Switzerland, the Federal Tax Administration levies the so-called stamp duty when buying or selling a share, an ETF, and other securities. The bank or broker – in our case Hypothekarbank Lenzburg – deducts this tax and passes it on to the Federal Tax Administration (FTA). On Swiss securities your share of the stamp duty is 0.075%, on foreign securities it's 0.150%.
