Here's a short introduction to our Tax section for expats living in Switzerland.The tax system in Switzerland
Taxes in your native country are complicated enough. Expatriate taxes can be totally confusing. Common questions addressed in articles on Expatica’s Tax channel include: ‘How does the income tax system in my new country of residence work?’, ‘Does my new country of residence tax expats or do tax rules back home still apply?’, and ‘Where can I find a financial advisor specialising in expat tax issues?’.
Expatica’s articles offer tips including ‘Tax tips for US expats in Switzerland’, 'Back to basics - Canadian tax for expats', Expert tax tips for UK expats and 'UK residence rules for tax purposes: The facts'.
Additionally, Expatica keeps you informed of any changes to the tax system via our tax channel, Swiss news and community news channels.
Expat tax advantages
Switzerland may not like to be labelled as a tax haven, yet its fiscal benefits continue to entice foreigners to live there. Expatica's Tax channel keeps expats updated about tax advantages in Switzerland in articles such as 'Switzerland's tax system', which describes how some foreigners are eligible for lump sum taxation. Our expat tax specialists explain how mobile workers employed in more than two countries can use a 'salary split' to reduce their tax burden, and how to deal with issues such as tax with your wealth 'suspended' between two cultures.
If you are a UK citizen residing abroad, you may want to visit the tax channel on Expatica UK for articles such as 'Expert tax tips: Returning to the UK'.
