In theory yes if you were an employee. If the company is pretending your self employed thats another matter.

Re: Max Period One Can Work Before Paying Swiss Tax

Hi,

Yes I am an employee.

I am not sure if the employer (a recruitment agency) is stating whether I am self employed.

As I understand you could work upto 90 days before being taxed in Switzerland but this is just hearsay and I need concrete evidence from somewhere.

Any help would be good.

Thanks

As an employee, your taxed from day 1. The concrete evidence will be your payslip you may be liable to further tax in the UK however you will get a credit for any tax you paid here. Why not ask the recruitment agency?
