It is perceived by the Confederation, the canton and the communes. Bear in mind that there can be important variations in tax rates depending on which canton and commune you live in.<\/p>\n<p>Swiss citizens and holders of a C permit must pay personal income tax. It is collected for one fiscal year (the fiscal year usually coincides with the civil year). The person pays his or her taxes by slices (multiplied by the number of payment forms sent to you by the authorities), depending on a taxation decision.<\/p>\n<h2>Source tax<\/h2>\n<p>Foreign residents in possession of another permit are subject to source tax. This tax is directly deducted from the employee\u2019s salary by the employer.<\/p>\n<p>You will find more details on our <a href=\"\/luniversite\/organisation\/service-des-ressources-humaines\/\">human resources desk<\/a>\u2019s website .<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1650989306171{margin-top: 60px !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"unine-image__wrapper \">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"d-inline-block magnific-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/0058-general.svg\" title=\"\" aria-label=\"\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/0058-general.svg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" class=\"unine-image    mb-eighth\" width=\"122\" height=\"122\" \/>\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"unine-text-block-small__wrapper mb-sixth\">\n\t<div class=\"unine-text-block-small font-size-4\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"boxTitle\">Further Information<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.efd.admin.ch\/en\/international-taxation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International doule taxation<\/a> &#8211; Federal Department of Finance FDF<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.estv.admin.ch\/estv\/en\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swiss Federal Tax Administration<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"last\"><a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ne.ch\/autorites\/DFS\/SCCO\/impot-pm\/Pages\/accueil.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Finances and taxes<\/a> &#8211; Canton of Neuch\u00e2tel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row margin_bottom=&#8221;mb-0&#8243;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_bottom=&#8221;mb-full&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1650989306171{margin-top: 60px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":41,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"wf_page_folders":[],"class_list":["post-293","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":340,"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/293\/revisions\/340"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wf_page_folders","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/welcomedesk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wf_page_folders?post=293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
