Hi all,

I am compiling a FAQ for contractors wishing to work in CH.

One question regards taking money out of CH. i.e., someone lives and works here for a period of time, and accumulates a large amount of money in their bank account.

If they want to transfer that money to (e.g.) their home country, are there any restrictions or pitfalls one needs to be aware of.

I am in the process of Googling around but not really come up with anything. Any pointers to relevant links etc would be welcome. If I come up with something in the meantime I will be sure to post it here.

As an aside, compiling this FAQ is becoming a bit of a life's work - getting all the facts straight. Particularly when it involves going to one of the admin.ch websites and trawling through information that is only in German. I think Mark mentioned elsewhere that Englishforum should start charging the Swiss government for doing their translation for them.

Cheers,
Nick
