Moving to Switzerland - How do I pay taxes on my side job?

October 11, 2016 | 30,00 EUR | answered by

Good day,
I am currently living in Bavaria and working as a press officer. In addition to my main job, I earn secondary income of approximately 18,000 euros per year under the small business regulation (according to § 19 UStG).

In the future, I would like to work in Switzerland and have a full-time job there.

My question is: Is it possible to work for German clients on the side in Switzerland? If so, how would this be taxed? Is there a small business regulation in Switzerland, meaning can I continue to invoice without VAT? Can I invoice in euros?

Thank you for your response.
