France
Switzerland and France maintain close relations in financial and tax matters, based on an institutionalized bilateral financial dialogue. In key areas such as the avoidance of double taxation, cross-border administrative assistance, and the framework conditions for cross-border market access, both countries work closely together to develop joint, sustainable solutions. In doing so, they make a significant contribution to the stability and competitiveness of their financial centers, as well as to the integration of their economic areas.
On 24 July 2025, the additional agreement to the double taxation agreement between Switzerland and France entered into force. This agreement marks another step in the positive development of bilateral relations and contributes in particular to strengthening cooperation in economically interconnected border regions.
