Working in Switzerland
You also have the possibility of living in France or Germany and not paying
Swiss taxes ie Working in Basel and living in Mulhouse. This would be the option if you were a French tax resident.
I received CH1500 a month tax free travel allowance+ paid CH3500 3rd pillar
pension so paid about 20% tax.
DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE in your calculation
if your contract is longer than 3 months as this is required by law.
You will have to take this out yourself and If you don't the canton has powers
to force you to choose the provider of their choice.
This works out at about CH250 for minimum cover.
There is more to Switzerland than Clocks and Chocolate.
There are a lot of Muti-National companies set up in Switzerland to take
advantage of the low taxes so they need your IT skills.
90% of my ex collegues were non swiss. The non europeans do the dirty work
and the Germans and the other europeans do the skilled work. The Swiss do government bureaucratic work.Comment

If you're single, however, French and German taxes are considerably higher than Swiss, so why would you want to do that?

Note that, generally, tax rate has a correlation to health insurance premiums, and an inverse correlation to rents.Last edited by NotAllThere; 31 August 2009, 12:03.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
