| What law? 
Living together has no effect whatsoever on taxes, so why would the tax authorities care?

Yes. I forgot to delete the "as per law" bit. Good catch.

| True! Just want to chime in and say that the concubine permit isn't necessarily a very good option if they're already certain they want to marry. We've been looking into getting me one, and in Bern a concubine permit means that you're not allowed to take work, only allowed to search for jobs. Only if the job you find can grant you an independent permit can you get it. In other words: in my case, I wouldn't be able to work for less than 2500 a month, which then brings you back to the same old L or B permit depending on the contract.
Plus you'll have to provide an explanation of why you can't/won't marry to authorities. I'm not sure if this can return to haunt you in case you want to marry a short while after if the concubine permit is not working out. That's basically our worry about it. | |

Sorry. But if you are an EU citizen then it doesn't matter. They just update the permit. It's just a formality.
