Tax-News.com: MEPs Seek Protection For Whistleblowers

GPT said:Did you compare like for like? Id say with 150k you would be better of in CH due to a way lower tax bracket. Especially when living outside of Zurich itself.Click to expand...Of course. If it were a 100% remote job nowadays, I would reconsider and settle in a Swiss village on the German border with supermarkets & Co. on the other side. Moreover, I would immediately change every CHF penny into euros.

RealDude said:Cross-border commuter if I live in Switzerland?Click to expand...Yes. If you work for a German company and live in Switzerland and live at / close to the border then you will be a Grenzgänger.

 

GPT said:For taxes you would then be considered a Grenzgänger. Tax wise no benefits. I dare say you would be worse of.Click to expand...No, considering the scenariro @RealDude mentioned, he will be a resident of Switzerland. In the first five years he will get "autorisation de séjour B". Therafter, since he is a German citizen (Schengen applicable country), he can apply for "autorisation de séjour C".
With B his tax benefits are rather limited since he will be taxed at source (if employee). With C he will be taxed like a Swiss citizen. Tax rates are different and with B possible tax deductions are minimal.
However, wealth taxation applies to both categories.

GPT said:Yes. If you work for a German company and live in Switzerland and live at / close to the border then you will be a Grenzgänger.Click to expand...He says he works remotely. Maybe I missed something here but did he mention that it is a German company?
I was under the impression that he works as an employee for a local company, albeit remotely.

 

How i understood it was that he worked for a German company. And then he is a Grenzgänger. If it’s a Swiss company he gets a B permit indeed and can apply for C. It’s, since one or two years, not automatically a move from B to C anymore. You need a compelling argument nowadays. I’ve seen many people being denied the C permit. Also the law did change. Tax is not a reason for C anymore.

Near Kölliken AG, he followed the vehicle in front on the overtaking lane over a distance of 2,400 meters at a speed of 110 to 120 km/h with an insufficient distance of eight to twelve meters

That's crazy... Tailgating is a serious crime there

Do they still come to see what candidates to Swiss nationality eat for breakfast ? They still did that 30 years ago but I don’t know what one is supposed to eat in the morning before becoming Swiss. Fondue ? Also this guy denied for speeding ticket did the usual mistake many migrants did in France until 1974 (end of immigration for work, explosion of requests to become French) : he waited 40 years instead of asking for Swiss nationality as soon as he could do it. I have a friend who also waited until he had to (so that his wife can become Swiss). Until then he had excuses like he would be humiliated if refused because he eats the wrong food at breakfast, or he would have to pay a fee (it was free at the time he finally applied).

That's crazy... Tailgating is a serious crime thereClick to expand...just for comparison with nearby countries...
I was on holidays in Italy and I was overtaken by a kid in a golf gti with a noisy exhaust... inside a dark tunnel... on a double white line... his lights were off too...
tailgating there happened multiple times a minute, and I was always well over speed limits
the insufficient distance in Italy at those speed must be under 5cm

But yeah, I hate to drive in Switzerland. You need a limousine and a chauffeur, relax and enjoy the view...
