biography
Tschütscher comes from Ruggell . He attended grammar school in Vaduz and studied law at the University of St. Gallen from 1987 to 1993 . After completing his studies, which he completed with a doctorate in 1996, he was a research assistant at the University of St. Gallen for two years until 1995. He then returned to Liechtenstein and became head of the Legal Service / Economic Affairs department at the Liechtenstein Tax Administration. Just four months later, he also took on the role of deputy head of the tax administration. From 1998 to 2005 Tschütscher was also a part-time lecturer at the University of Liechtenstein .
As head of the legal service, Tschütscher was a member of the Liechtenstein delegations in the negotiations with the European Union regarding EU interest taxation, in the negotiations with the USA on the conclusion of the mutual legal assistance agreement and in the negotiations with the OECD as part of the “Harmful Tax Practices” initiative . Since 2001 he has been the chairman of the permanent working group “International Developments in Tax Law”. From 2002 to 2004 Tschütscher completed an extra-occupational Master of Laws postgraduate course in "International Business Law" at the University of Zurich .
In the election to the Liechtenstein Landtag in March 2005, the Progressive Citizens' Party , which had previously ruled alone, lost an absolute majority in the Liechtenstein Landtag , whereupon Tschütscher became the deputy head of government for Otmar Hasler in the new coalition government . As such, he was initially responsible for the justice, business and sport departments.
In 2009 the Fatherland Union , to which Tschütscher belongs, surprisingly emerged as the strongest party in the state elections . After Hasler's resignation as head of government, Tschütscher took over his office and became head of government of the Principality of Liechtenstein on March 25, 2009. In the new government, he is now in charge of the Presidium, Finance, Family and Equal Opportunities. In the state elections in Liechtenstein in 2013 , Tschütscher was no longer available for election and subsequently resigned from the new government on March 27, 2013 when the new government was sworn in.
After Markus Büchel's death , Klaus Tschütscher was appointed Honorary Consul of the Russian Federation as his successor in 2014. The announcement was made in September 2014 by the Russian Ambassador for Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein Alexander Golovin at a reception in Vaduz .
