US taxes while working in Switzerland
Post New Topic

Hi,

Unfortunately the job I'm being offered in Zurich loses some of its appeal due to having to pay taxes in two countries. Do any of you US citizens here have an idea of roughly what is the percentage of TOTAL Swiss + US taxes being taken out is? I've heard between deductions and exceptions, I can count of paying roughly the same percentage in taxes as if living in the US. I think the person that mentioned this based it off a 150,000 CHF/year salary.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I'm not mistaken, the first $80,000 USD of your salary is deducted from your income for the purposes of US taxes.
