| I live in France & work in Geneva. Obviously the situation varies from canton to canton, as I must pay swiss income tax at source, like all Geneva frontaliers. It's much less than if I worked in France. I must fill in a french tax form every year. I get a bit of paper from the swiss tax authorities saying what I've earned and that tax is paid on it, so I start from zero. I declare interest on bank accounts, shares, etc. and can deduct life insurance contributions. I can get swiss tax deductions for contributions to my 3eme pillier and that's about all.
I recommend joining the "Groupement des Frontaliers". They know all the wrinkles that can appear in these complicated situations, and act as a pressure group. I don't know how good their service to english speakers is. I went native a long time ago. | |
