I am living in Zurich and working in Zurich since 1/2/2008 , holding UK Passport and having B permit, paying tax as a Quellensteuer around 9%.
I got new job in Geneva and i want to keep my main address in Zurich so i will pay the 9% instead of the 19% ( for Geneva ), that what i told the HR Department, the i got an answer today that "Taxes will be paid to Geneva, then Geneva returns taxes to Zurich".

My Questions are :
1) Is the answer ok ?
2) If the answer ok, how can i get the remaining money from Zurich, and when ( since the Quellensteuer deducted monthly ) , and how much ( is Geneva and Zurich gana deduct from my salary ? )
3) Is there any tax reduction since m traviling to Zurich every weekend to my address.

Many Thanks,

Hmm,
An interesting question, to which I do not have a specific answer. We own a house in Vaud and live in Zug. I pay tax in Vaud and Zug. If you stay in a hotel whilst working in Geneva you might be ok? But if you rent something in Geneva, you can hardly claim your not living there can you...

Good luck. This is never going to fly

i know there is something called weekend permission , i dont remember the name of it in German , and that means you will keep the main address in Zurich and work in Geneva 5 days and weekend in Zurich , since all your furniture and main apartment in Zurich you will pay tax in Zurich even if i rent a studio in Geneva , if i am not wrong

We live in the opposite situation: I live and work in Geneva while my husband officially lives in Geneva and works in Zurich during the week. We had to fill a form for the Geneva taxes stating that our domicile principal was in Geneva. From then on, we pay taxes in Geneva and none in Zurich.

My husband has a form saying he's a Wochenaufenthalter in Zurich: a week-worker only.

Thanks a lot gazoline1212 , yesterday i called Zurich tax department and i could talk to the section which responsible for Quellensteuer and he told me that i will pay Tax in Geneva then after one year i have to fill up a form for Zurich tax then i will get the difference back.

i have to check a gain with him regarding which papers he needed attached with the form, but i guess they will need the Wochenaufenthalter which i have to issue it from Zurich city house i guess

Zurich is happy that you want to pay taxes in ZH. But what does Geneva tax office say? I concur with Shorrick that you might not get a refund.

If you are single, then GE may consider your supposed ZH residence as being too clever. However, if you have a family in ZH, then it becomes more plausible to claim ZH tax residence.
