Hi there

I wonder if anyone can tell me if it is better tax wise to live together than marry?
We are planning on moving to Fribourg and unmarried at the moment. My partner's company is moving there and I will look for work when we arrive. I understand that under Swiss tax law our incomes are added together if we are married and therefore I would be taxed at the same high rate as he is (I am presuming I wont earn anything like he does and so don't really fancy that!)

Anyway I am wondering why anyone would ever marry in Switzerland if it puts one at such a financial disadvantage, apart from love of course!

Can anyone enlighten me or my wedding plans are off!

Thanks
