Living in Switzerland, working for a company in US?

Hi,

My wife has recently found a job in Zurich and we'll move to Switzerland very soon. I'm working with a company in US and would like to continue working with them for a while from Zurich. The idea is I'll be working from home and they plan to send my paychecks to a US bank.

Now the question is what should I do about my taxes?! I'm not a US citizen so hopefully I don't need to worry about US federal taxes but what about Swiss tax? Would I be considered self-employed? Could I declare myself self-employed? (i.e. would it work with my B permit that's going to be dependent on my wife's B permit?).

Thanks a lot,
AlefSin
