I have changed canton and made the first declaration in the new one. It really surprised me that they required me to declare both given and received gifts. I always thought that it’s a tax problem for the recipient only, but this case made me think. For example if I make a gift transfer to whoever somewhere in the world, will the Swiss taxmen hunt me for any taxes as they won’t be able to get a share of it from the recipient? I mean, it sounds absurd to me, but otherwise I don’t see the reason to declare that I have made gifts. submitted by /u/Necessary_Walk_7362
