| Before moving to Geneva, I worked for PwC in the UK, doing company tax advice. Whilst I can't help specifically, what I would suggest is contacting one of the Big 4 accountancy firms and asking them for some assistance. The complexities of dealing with two tax systems, one of which you understand a little (UK) and one of which you don't understand at all (Swiss and specifcally which ever canton you are going to), and particularly the interactions between those two systems, is not something that I would want to try and deal with myself. With these things, the "devil is always in the detail", and as a random punter you are never going to be able to get access to the most up-to-date information, or have the relevant practical experience, that a professional will have. In addition, a Big 4 personal tax advisor will be able to contact their Swiss office directly and work together with a Swiss advisor to find the right answers for your circumstances. | |

PWC was useless for us for UK and Australian tax advice. They basically said that they have no one person that underatands both tax systems {that we could afford I assume} and we would be paying £1,000 per hour for any advice for the UK.
We went to them specifically about CGT in Australia and the actual advice they gave us was to just pay the capital gains tax because if one system was to class it as income we would be taxed a hell of a lot more.
