Overall, it's roughly in the European average, special cases (forfait fiscal/Pauschalbesteuerung) notwithstanding. VAT is however very low but that's moot since before-tax prices are already high. | |

| Feb 7, 2014 at 21:55 | comment | added | Moriarty | Ah, right. I somehow managed to confuse Switzerland with Sweden (which does have high taxes). | |
| Feb 7, 2014 at 21:42 | comment | added | Cape Code | @Moriarty I agree for living costs, especially rent, but taxes are low, in fact I hardly paid any (hey it's Switzerland). | |
| Feb 7, 2014 at 21:25 | comment | added | Moriarty | Don't be misled by the Swiss salary. It's good pay for a PhD, but taxes and living costs are pretty high. | |
