Students from abroad (Europe or outside Europe) who have a study permit for Switzerland have the opportunity to work 15 hours a week during course periods and full-time during university holidays.
Please note: students from countries outside the European Union (EU) cannot work for the first 6 months following the start of their course.
From the age of 18, anyone living in Switzerland is obliged to file a tax return every year.
Having to declare what you earn does not necessarily mean that you are liable to pay tax. In fact, in many cantons, there is a minimum amount above which you must pay tax. This amount varies from canton to canton. What's more, the taxable amount does not correspond to net income insofar as it is possible to make numerous deductions.
It should be noted that in some cantons students are exempt from tax on their income from gainful employment up to a certain limit. The sum received from parents, support grants and military, fire brigade or civil defence salaries, on the other hand, are not taxable.
