Re: 3rd Pillar Pension Fund

Hi,

A couple of questions - good advice needed..

1. I'm leaving Switzerland for an EU country early next year. By paying in 3a this year, I avoid some Swiss taxes and would pay some Swiss taxes on the withdrawal next year instead but wouldn't the EU country tax me (based on the tax treaty) on the withdrawal (with a higher tax rate less the small amount of Swiss taxes) - any experience?

2. I haven't been part of the Swiss social security system (no AHV, not sure about 2nd Pillar) - what does this mean for my possible 3a participation:
- able to participate at all?
- max amount roughly 6 KCHF or 30 KCHF?

Thanks for any replies.
