BERN, SWITZERLAND – Germany and Switzerland Wednesday signed the new fiscal agreement announced earlier in 2011. The new agreement provides for a “final withholding tax will ensure equal tax treatment of investment income irrespective of whether the income was generated in Switzerland or in Germany.” The new agreement goes beyond OECD rules, the Swiss federal department of finance says.

Switzerland also announced that a double taxation agreement has been reached with Russia and will now go through the steps it needs for final approval by both countries.
