Basically a pretty pathetic call for some friends!
Ill be moving to Zurich in Jan and hoping there will be someone willing to show me some decent bars!
So the move to the Nordkanton (Germany) hasn't worked out? I hope you are going to be earning in CHF. The pound set an all time low against the CHF earlier today.Ill be moving to Zurich in Jan and hoping there will be someone willing to show me some decent bars!
I'm in Zurich and have a reasonably good knowledge of the local bars. I'm happy to share for a price (beer/jagermeister/coke + hookers etc).

The Zurich job has firmed up quickest.
I will be earling in CHF, on a long term contract, initial 6 months then rolling after that. Im replacing a guy who has been here 3 yrs, but is going off to the Middle East to find himself or something. So we are looking at probably here for years. After a yr Ill bring the wife over fully.
The Frankfurt bid is still being prepped (Plan B) if you will, but as things stand its Zurich. Ive found the English forum website you guys talk about and have tried to bash my way through the tax side. Just about got a handle on it and figure its roughly 25% tax in the Zurich canton, but Im not looking forward to that over 120k/tax form thingy!
And I have to find somewhere to stay by 24th Jan!
All help greatly appreciated and offers of beer accepted

Surely we offer help and you offer beer We're down the road in Zug. Give me a shout if you need advice etc.
ETA but if you are going to be paying 25% tax at source, then I would suggest looking at it. (25-35k a month on the new tariff).

Welcome to CH!
I'm sure Ian can show you a good time in the bars and clubs around Zurich.
Zug's far better though (well, except Edlibach, that's full of cows and cement factories, and Marcus lives there)
Thanks for the compliment, but I'm surprised you say that about Zug. I'd have thought that at your stage of life you'd want to be as close to Dignitas as possible I'm sure Ian can show you a good time in the bars and clubs around Zurich.

Ok, so Im a bit slow on the uptake obviously, but having followed a few of the threads round here, whats with the pissing taking of AndrewD and his tax stuff?
Are there in jokes I need to know?
And wtf is Zug or is that short for Zurich?

Zug is a small Canton next to Zurich. Let's just say it is a very tax-friendly place to live, especially for companies and high earners (even in comparison to the rest of CH). I'm sure it's a lovely place if you have a family, but for my tastes a little quiet.

Welcome. Zug is a great canton, not only for tax dodgers, but also if you like the outdoors. We have access to hiking, mountain biking, lake swimming, snowboarding/skiing all from right outside the door.
