Departure taxation, country by country
Leaving has a cost, a timetable and forms. This section is about the country you leave — not the one you settle in.
Thresholds and deadlines are published, dated facts with their official source; anything unverified is stated as such.
Belgium
This profile is open but incomplete. The official Belgian tax pages block automated access, and we do not publish a tax rule that we have not read at its source.
Canada
Leaving Canada is treated as a notional sale of most assets at their current value. The resulting tax is due on gains that nobody has actually received — the harshest mechanism of the four countries covered here.
France
Leaving France triggers taxation of unrealised capital gains above a certain level of securities holdings, and opens reporting obligations that outlast the move. The timetable matters as much as the amounts.
Switzerland
This profile is open but incomplete. The official pages we consulted did not set out the tax formalities of departure, and we do not publish a rule that we have not read at its source.
