Quote from FuturesTrader71:

Well... wild as in fun not as in "America's Wildest Springbreak Videos". Most of the foreigners from various parts of Switzerland gathered there. I was still in high school at the time and it was great to hook up with the others from international schools from around the country. The party just went on and on and on and the setting was incredible. We would go to sleep for about 2 hrs in the morning and then hit the slopes.

To each his own... Swiss isn't my kinda place for partying, too many boring rich farts.

Start reading dude, I never wrote SF is exciting. IMO it bears a lot of similarities to Switzerland.

Having been at both places, I can tell you they have almost no common point.

This will be my last message, as I don't write on ET to have that kind of conversation, so don't expect any answer to your eventual reply.

I have a life, no problem on my side. I'm really sorry this doesn't seem to be your case.

We had a federal vote today. One of the questions was if people here wanted the abolition of VAT and federal tax. 80% said no.

A new repartition of cantonal taxes between cantons has been voted too. Zug will have to give more of its taxes to the other cantons. The result should probably be a tax increase in Zug.

Quote from Kicking:

is there any tax to pay for imports besides VAT at 7% ? I recently ordered an LCD monitor in the US and had to pay 21 % VAT + entry fee when it arrived in the EU. I was infuriated , I ended up paying as much as in a local store, yes that's how expensive electronics are in Europe . But with VAT at 7% if there is no other import duties you could buy a lot of computer stuff in the States .

When you import to a EU country you pay the VAT of that country, EU as such do not have a common rate. The same is true for Switzerland, you pay the Swiss VAT (7.6%). I have never been charged any other import duties on computer stuff (but they might exist in some cases). On cars I know there is a 4% special tax.

I also agree with science_trader that there isn't any advantage anymore buying in the USA, prices in Switzerland are quite competitive.
