| 1. As far as I am aware the threshhold is 120K household income.
2. Quellensteuer is PAYE, so yes.
3. Can't say without knowing your salary but if you are in Zürich, married with no children then this would equate to an annual salary of ca 200K for year 2007/2008. If you are single then ca 150K and if you are both earning 160K.
4. You will have deductions of at least 6.1% for social contributions on the first 126K and at least 5.1% thereafter. | |

1. Bugger
2. Excellent - as long as it isn't extra to PAYE
3. I am married, no children, but the 14.6% was on much less than 200k, more like half of that! That was via both the credit suisse and UBS calculators, who estimated approx 14.6% tax liability for the year on my gross. I thought this seemed quite high!
4. So I will have 5% AVG, 1-2% other insurances, 6.1% social contributions, 14.6% tax at source and any personal pension (pillar 2 or 3a) that I decide to take out? I guess thats 27-28% (give or take when each percentage is applied) which is still marginally less than the UK.
