Re: Any legal types who can advise on Ex-Pat contracts ?
If you register to live and work here you will need to follow Swiss employment laws and compulsory deductions for tax, health, pensions, 3rd party liability insurance, etc. If you are employed by a Swiss company, or the UK company has a registered subsidary office here, you will have to register and get a work permit.
Generally these forced deductions are less painful than UK rates, and we do have a higher standard of living. Unless you are registered as living and working here, with a permit, you won't easily get an apartment. You might however be able to "illegaly" share one. Before you ask: CHF 6,000 per month is enough to live on!
If you live in hotels or furnished rooms for up to ( I think ) 6 months and go back to UK regularly you might be able to claim to be a working visitor.
