Leaving Switzerland - Tax refund possible?
Hi. I'm about to leave Switzerland in 2 weeks. I resigned from my job and will be moving to the UK.
Since coming to Zurich in 2007, I have been taxed from source as my annual income exceeded the threshold of CHF 120,000.
This year, I have been paid my regular monthly salary from January to May. In addition, I received an additional lump sum in May related to my rank in the bank. **NOTE: My bank taxed this lump sum cash even though I will be putting it into my pension account in Switzerland.
When calculating my GROSS INCOME for the year (i.e. January to May 2010 + lump sum), however, the total just slightly exceeded CHF 120,000.
Could anyone advise whether I am entitled to a tax refund for 2010? Alternatively, can I expect to pay additional taxes?
Thanks and I really appreciate constructive advise.
