| It would probably make most sense to register with RAV once your Swiss job is terminated and keep quiet about UK opportunity.
Then as you actually get to do some work for the UK consultancy you report it to RAV as a temporary assignment and they stop your payments (but also 'park' the remainder of your entitlement days) for the duration of that particular contract. This on-an-off with RAV may even get you all the way to the retirement without having to take another job in Switzerland.
Another option would be that you register a UK limited company that then hires you in Switzerland as an ANOBAG employee. The only problem here is your physical presence in the UK that would trigger some tax payable there but on the Swiss side you'd still have unemployment insurance and pension contributions (Pillar 1 & 2). | |

Thanks a lot. If you're right that I can "park" my RAV entitlement (something I was quite unaware of) that would be perfect as it would provide a sort of cushion against things not working out. I wasn't aware of ANOBAG. Is it legally possible for my own limited company in the UK to hire myself in CH?
Just to be clear, I'm not trying to play the system or be 'over-entitled' here. I've probably been unemployed less than 6 months in total over 35+ years of working. But I'd be fed up if the steps taken to stay off welfare threatened the RAV safeguard I'd paid to provide. Am just trying to do the right thing.
