Regimes tributários especiais
Esses regimes não estão incluídos no cálculo acima: cada um tem condições próprias.
Besteuerung nach dem Aufwand (Pauschalbesteuerung)
Para quem: Non-Swiss nationals who become fully tax-liable for the first time or after at least 10 years of absence and have no gainful activity in Switzerland.
Income tax is replaced by tax on worldwide living expenses: at least 7 times the rent or rental value (or 3 times the board-and-lodging price), with a federal minimum base of CHF 435,000 (2026) and a control calculation on Swiss-source income. Abolished for cantonal and communal taxes in the canton of Zurich (vote of 8 Feb 2009); other cantons set their own minimum.
Base legal: Art. 14 DBG; Art. 6 StHG
Quellensteuer und nachträgliche ordentliche Veranlagung
Para quem: Foreign employees resident in Switzerland without a settlement (C) permit, and non-residents with Swiss employment income.
The employer withholds tax from each payment at the withholding-tax rates of the canton of residence. If annual gross pay is CHF 120,000 or more, a subsequent ordinary assessment (NOV) is mandatory; below that it is available on request, allowing actual deductions to be claimed.
Base legal: Art. 83–89a, 99a DBG; Quellensteuerverordnung (QStV), Art. 9
Abzug besonderer Berufskosten von Expatriates (ExpaV)
Para quem: Executives and specialists with special qualifications temporarily assigned to Switzerland by a foreign employer for no more than 5 years.
In addition to ordinary professional expenses: moving and travel costs, reasonable Swiss housing costs while keeping a home abroad, and children's foreign-language private school fees; housing and moving costs may instead be deducted as a flat CHF 1,500 a month.
Vereinfachtes Abrechnungsverfahren
Para quem: Low-paid employees: up to CHF 22,680 a year per employer, where the employer's total payroll does not exceed CHF 60,480 (not for companies limited by shares or cooperatives).
Tax is withheld at a single simplified rate together with social contributions and paid via the AHV compensation fund; the income is then not included in the ordinary assessment.
Base legal: Art. 37a DBG; Art. 11 Abs. 4 StHG; Bundesgesetz gegen die Schwarzarbeit (BGSA) — Kantonales Steueramt Zürich
Teilbesteuerung von Dividenden aus qualifizierten Beteiligungen
Para quem: Swiss residents holding at least 10% of the capital of a company or cooperative.
Dividends and other distributions from such a holding are 70% taxable for federal tax and at least 50% for cantonal tax (cantons may tax more). Gains on selling privately held securities are generally tax-free in Switzerland.
Base legal: Art. 20 Abs. 1bis, Art. 16 Abs. 3 DBG; Art. 7 Abs. 1 StHG
Gesonderte Besteuerung von Kapitalleistungen aus Vorsorge
Para quem: People receiving a lump sum from a pension fund (pillar 2) or pillar 3a, and payments on death or for lasting harm to health.
Such payments are taxed separately from other income: federal tax at one fifth of the normal scale, without social deductions; cantons also tax them separately under their own rules. For people living abroad, the tax is withheld at source.
Base legal: Art. 38, Art. 96 DBG; Art. 11 Abs. 3 StHG
Residência fiscal
Critérios de residência fiscal: Suíça
- Uma moradia e a família na Suíça criam domicílio fiscal (Wohnsitz): você é residente na Suíça, com obrigação fiscal ilimitada (impostos federal, cantonal e municipal sobre a renda mundial).
- Você permaneceu na Suíça pelo menos 30 dias trabalhando (ou 90 dias sem trabalhar) — é uma permanência fiscal (Aufenthalt): você é residente na Suíça desde o primeiro dia da estada.
Premissas
- Cálculo pela metodologia da OCDE (Taxing Wages): imposto de renda, incluindo tributos locais, e contribuições do empregado; pessoa solteira sem filhos, ano-calendário de 2026, câmbio do BCE de 2 de janeiro de 2026.
- Residence in the city of Zurich (as in the OECD): federal direct tax, cantonal and communal taxes (2026 multipliers: canton 95%, city 119% of the simple tax) and the CHF 24 personal tax; church tax excluded.
- Ordinary assessment. Foreign nationals without a C permit are taxed at source (Quellensteuer), so the final amount may differ.
- Deductions: AHV/IV/EO 5.3%, unemployment 1.1% (up to CHF 148,200), employee BVG pension contribution at 7.83% of coordinated pay (OECD estimate; pay less CHF 26,460, no upper limit); professional expenses 3% of net pay (CHF 2,000–4,000); insurance premiums at the maximum CHF 1,800 (federal) and CHF 2,900 (Zurich). Taxable income is not rounded down to CHF 100 (a difference of a few francs) so that the marginal rate does not depend on the rounding step.
- As in the OECD, non-tax compulsory payments are not counted as taxes: health insurance premiums, BVG pension contributions, accident insurance and family-allowance fund contributions.
- Tributos locais — localidade: Zurich (canton and city of Zurich)
- Período de apuração: 2026-01-01 – 2026-12-31
- Câmbio: 1 EUR = 0.9296 CHF (ECB euro foreign exchange reference rate (CHF), 02/01/2026)
