Many international jobs are located abroad, outside Switzerland. It is not fundamentally a problem to be employed abroad and work from Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an employee works at least 25% in Switzerland and is employed 100% abroad, the employer must pay all social security contributions in Switzerland for the employee but is not responsible for income tax. This is a good deal for employers as they do not have to pay social security contributions in an EU country where employer contributions are much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many employers are afraid of the PE risk (permanent establishment). This is indeed often a risk under Article 5 of many double taxation agreements if the employee has a management function. The employer must not allow the employee to make managerial decisions in the home office. We can request from Swiss tax authorities a confirmation that there is no permanent establishment. Another option is to hire a third-party provider such as Zug Consultants GmbH <\/a>in Switzerland, which specialises in hiring managers, which represents a high risk for establishing a PE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are happy to advise you on the assessment of risks for international workforce. IHRS<\/a> is specialised in international laws and regulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
