"Somehow I doubt they pay ALV / AHV / IV / OPK and all the other niceties that get deducted from your salary before having to pay income tax in Switzerland. Or were you trying to repeat that we do not pay taxes just because some ugly small man with big ears pretending to run France says so repeatedly? Or did you try to explain something else?"

Yes, I agree. Wizz Air don't pay anything "nice" in Switzerland to the "employees" benefit. It isn't aimed at benefiting "employees".

The reason the company is nominally headquartered in GVA is more to do with offsetting Corporation tax liabilities than anything else.

Anyway, seeing as most Wizz Air "service providers" are responsible for their own taxes, it is none of the company's issue or problem when "employees/service providers" get investigated for tax evasion.

The fact that your payslip says "Swiss Tax" does not necessarily mean that you have no liabilities elsewhere. For instance in your home country.

Be careful not to confuse paying 5% of earnings in Switzerland with the reality of an outstanding tax liability to your local tax office in your place of residence.
