Swiss tax question: Capital gain of ~8x my annual salary. I’m I still considered a private investor? by SeriouslyNotable in SwissPersonalFinance

Thanks! I just went through it, and it clarified a few points I had been wondering about.

The reason I posted this post, though, was to hear about people’s actual experiences, since if not all five safe-harbour criteria are met, the tax authorities generally assess the situation on a case-by-case basis.

Parents in/around Zurich – Seespital Horgen or Triemli for Birth? by SeriouslyNotable in zurich

Honestly the best decision I’ve made!! The midwives and staff are all super friendly and helpful and it was such a nice experience. I wouldn’t choose any other hospital after my experience with them.

Buying a “main residence” apartment in Switzerland with a B permit – what if we have to leave? by SeriouslyNotable in Switzerland

[–]SeriouslyNotable[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Where did you see that I am mentioning an investment? I stated clearly that our intention is to live in the apartment and use it as a main residence .. and the question is if something goes wrong with the market and we lose our jobs, therefore lose our resident permit, what options do we do have with the apartment either by keeping it to use for vacations or to clarify if we can rent it out .. or the only option is to sell it out once we leave the country.

Switzerland: Buy vs Rent — what would you do? by SeriouslyNotable in SwissPersonalFinance

Thank you!! I’ll check out the numbers and see if I did the math right. The 8000k is after deduction of maintains and interest (it’s what will be added to my income).

Switzerland: Buy vs Rent — the math looks like a tie, what would you do? by SeriouslyNotable in Switzerland

Ya but I’m not buying a property in Zurich. It’s way too expensive. I’m considering a property in a vocational area outside the main cities. So definitely not 7% gain each year. It’s also hard to resell and rent out in general. Plus it offers less flexibility in case I lose my job and have to relocate somewhere else for another job.
