My point is that most Wizz service providers DON'T live in Switzerland.

On average, deductions for "Swiss Tax" are about 5-10% on average from the service providers pay packet. They don't live there, get no social security there, but pay tax there. Irrespective of whether they ever go there - and they certainly aren't based there!

Quite a few people think that is their tax obligation dealt with, when it obviously is not.

I'm glad to hear you pay more than 5% tax in Switzerland. Where you LIVE. It's a nice place. I'm sure you love it.

The issue I mentioned is exclusive to Wizz Air in that their self employed service providers even get "taxed" in Switzerland irrespective of domicile. Or their wishes. Or the fact that Wizz Air have absolutely no operational set up in Switzerland, excepting a token group of senior executives.

Funny old business.

Anyway, back to Ryanair being shafted for a change. Happy days!
