Apologies I didn't actually phrase the question correctly, What I meant to say was when working in Switzerland are you able to reclaim all your expenses just like you're able to do in the UK for things like food, accommodation and travel etc?

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostWell actually you can offset 1500 CHF a month as expenses, you need to have some proof like a mortgage or a rental agreement to prove you have a second home. I wouldn't exclude the possibility of offsetting more than that, but 1500 is the norm. You don't actually have to put in your expenses every month you just get 1500 CHF tax free.In Scooter we trustComment

Deductions
Originally posted by jeremytaxman View PostNearly forgot ... HMRC will still consider you UK tax resident so you'll have to give them another 20% of your salary. The double tax treaty only means HMRC deduct the tax you paid to the Swiss - and that doesn't include the medical, pension
...... and HMRC won't let you deduct any expenses in the same way that you can't deduct your normal commuting costs in the UK.
.... so unless you can satisfy the non resident criteria, you will be shafted .... and short term gig implies less than 186 days so immediae shaft there :-)
Gross less pension and I declared that amount less my expenses which the Belgians accepted but Belgian double taxation is not the same as the UK
Why won't the UK allow commuting and hotel expenses in europeComment
