Hi All,
I am in contracting in Switzerland where I have a single client and have been granted a temporary residence visa (L). The (non-swiss) agency that found me the contract invoice the client directly and they will pay me (gross) through whatever structure I set up. I have yet to invoice as I need first to have this structure in place. I have set-up a BVI company and am in the process of setting up an corporate bank account in Cyprus as this seems like the best, quickest, cheapest (in terms of set-up costs) approach. I will need to pay myself a salary and want legitimately to pay local swiss taxes on a reasonable amount (if not all) of the income, does anyone have any experience about whether this will be a runner. At the moment it appears as though I will not show up in the swiss tax system as a I am on a foreign payroll and due to my permit type. Normally I would have expected to pay tax at source but apparently (The agency tells me) this will not happen.
Appreciate any help/advice out there.
