Hi,
Direct comparison with Switzerland is difficult as the bulk of tax is Canton based, not Federal.
For comparisons, go to the site :-http://www.anzeiger.ch/nh/index_n.htm
Click on "Steuern hoch oder tief" first option under Special tools, and on the next screen, click on "tool", dead centre of the screen. At the bottom of the new window, click on "Liste aller Gemeinden" and you get every Swiss Tax area. Zug, at the top, graded 6, is the cheapest.
Click on the town of choice and you get a representation of costs, layed out:-
Single, Married, Married/2 Kids, Married/Retired.
Its cheaper if you're an atheist as Church Tax is steep!
Cheers,
Paddler
PS A German/English dictionary would be helpful!
