I think this is a bad idea. 1. Yes you can do it. In theory. But then you wouldn't have to care about 182 days. You could just stay as long as you like. Because if they catch you, they might argue that you stayed much longer. I did a post, where even where I stayed and documented less than 100...

What do you mean that they can't do much? I mean they can request the money, or even claim you own us much more. Sure I could say no, but then I guess they have the instruments to somehow get it. Even at the border. Or let's say even, a hypothetical case, someone cheated in Germany and now they...

The disputed amount is on a 6% interest rate. So it is hard to beat when investing yourself. Even if you might get 6% on EUR, it would be still not a good deal, since you have to pay taxes on interest. Deregistered when moved. According to the accountants, I did everything by the rules and it...

I think I can. But of course you are kind of right. Seem like for the Tax Man you are guilty until proven otherwise. Will see what they will say. There are some things they might try. Actually according to the accountants. and I asked few, the case is clear in my favor (but you never know). Yeah...

Thanks for the confirmation. Hope so. Based on this I'm fine as well. Basically if 15 days a months are allowed, I was for sure not that much in Germany. Hope the Tax Man is somehow reasonable, but you never know. Actually hope to settle somehow with the guys. Will see)

Thanks for the reply. That is fine. basically I deregistered in Germany and registered directly after that in Switzerland. As far as I understand the accountant said, that this is the date till then the German are allowed to tax me. So even if you moved lets say in 01.12.2022 to Switzerland...

This is awesome. Very good to hear. Now got more respect for Swiss authorities. Do you know how the 183 are counted? Is it on a yearly basis or on an 12 months basis. So basically at the beginning I had a bit stuff to finish in Germany, so was a bit there. But if you look forward to 12 months...

Which book? Would love to read and thanks for the kind words. Maybe you have some general advice. I'm even not sure if there is trouble. It seems just that the Tax Man wants to check everything. Like eat up my time and so. Not sure how many days that stuff has cost me. Since you need to find...

Hope you are right, this is very encouraging. Although the German government, ask for bit more. The documents you mentioned I have already provided. They want bills, rent documents, documents for phone, electricity, water and so on. Basically I have all of that. Especially since it was my only...

To be honest, I think it just doesn't make sense, how the German are handling this. If I'm paying over 1MM$ every year and once got into dispute maybe even not intentional, getting jail time is just crazy. Would leave the country and never come back. Also this would prevent the person producing...

Can agree on this one. Basically if they find you cheating, let's say over 1MM$, you can't avoid jail time. This is a bit insane, if you compare it to other crimes. Because for all other crimes, there is basically always the social aspect, like what is best for society. So for example if someone...

That is fine. I mean not sure what Switzerland could answer? Guess the way to go is just being transparent, since they check anyway. So it is fine if they question it, basically that is what they kind of said in the beginning. Although I would argue that I'm a Swiss resident, since live here...

I'm basically already 3 years in Swiss. It is about an old Tax Declaration in the year I moved away. They try now three things -dispute cross check that I really moved to Switzerland (Anyone exprienced which documents do they ask for? Or how they check that? So that I can prepare) - argue it is...

Thanks man. Yeah totally agree. It is just the thing that they are also very slow. Also saying one thing to the accountant (like we agree) and then hand it over to some other department which does more checks. Is it possible to settle? Actually would be happy to pay the half of the disputed...

Hi guys, short story long. Moved from Germany to Swiss. Declared my tax according to the rules in Germany . Without going into the details, had a very profitable thing going on the side (lets say 3MM$ in profits). In that year 1MM$ were made in Swiss the rest 2MM$ in Germany (on the same year)...
