Let us all look at the wild statements here, starting with this one:

"Been ,there ,done that.Wizzair is full of corrupt thieves.The management can not be trusted and they treat their pilots with nil to zero respect;much worse than any other airline."

That is difficult to be sure of. Do you mean the senior management, such as the CEO? Or do you mean the Flight Ops management? I've never been treated better or worse than I currently am. I turn up, do my job, try to do my best, be a good Skipper, lead my team and for that, I get paid on time every month. I get my days off, don't get hassled if I refuse to: fly into days off/discretion etc.

Additionally, I carry the fuel I need to. I don't get asked why I did. There is no pressure to cut corners or to take risks. My fleet manager doesn't breathe down my neck all the time. If I have to, I can pick up the phone to anybody and get an answer or support.


Never trust the folks who run Wizzair, or those from the airline's true country. Sharp as knives. And unscrupulous.

Racist, but short. I suppose we should be grateful for that small blessing.

To answer the question: Captain, Married, two kids 1-5%. Reality is about 800 to 1000 Eur a month less than before.

Has Wizzair managed cleverly to distribute it's own taxes for it's employees to shoulder?


Not true. Some months, I get deducted about 800 Euro. Then other quieter months I actually pay negative tax - i.e. I receive money back.

If you genuinely believe you are 800 - 1000 Euro worse off, I suggest you had no intention of paying tax to any authority. In that case, it is only a matter of time before you get caught.


1. You will get a piece of paper (normally around february) from the Swiss tax office attesting your revenue from the employer and the amount of tax paid.

2. If the country you live in has a taxation agreement with Switzerland (all European countries do..), you will still have to pay the difference between the tax you paid in Switzerland and what you would have paid for the full revenue in your country of residence. Should your country have lower taxation than Switzerland, you will NOT get the difference back.

3. If you were a tax nomad before this new regime and were not paying income taxes anywhere, you're screwed.


Sums it up really.
