Re: questions on quellensteuer (tax at source for expats)

HI Richard,

I see you give a lot of good advice on these threads, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out with somthing.

So at the moment I am working for a Swiss company based in Zurich, I work in BAsel Stadt and also live in Basel Stadt.

My Gross salary a month is CHF9500 I just got my B permit in JAnuary so my employer has just started to do my tax deduction each month at source, They are saying that we are entitled to CHF2000 a month flat expenses and [no more been a B Permit holder] that this figure is then deducted from my gross salary which leaves me with a taxable income of CHF7500 per month so from this according to basel stadt i pay 16.4% tax is there any way to reduce this figure or am i stuck?

Is AHV tax deductable also like the expences? according to my employer its not which mean in effect I have to pay tax on my AHV also??

I was just wondering I am attending a course this year costing me CHF20,000 I know I am on a B permit but is there any way i can get this money back as the course is to develop my career to the next level?

Any advice would be great Thanks!!
Sorry forgot about your course costs. Yes they are deductable you need to fill in a form attached in order to do that and also you need to get a statement from your employer detailing their contribution to the course. Even if this is zero, otherwise you get nothing...
