Switzerland Tax Residency Test
Switzerland applies a 30-day threshold where you are working and a 90-day threshold where you are not — far lower than the 183 days most people expect. Tax is then levied at federal, cantonal and communal level, so the canton matters as much as the country.

Tax domicile
Do you reside in Switzerland with the intention of remaining permanently?
This is the primary route and it looks at where the centre of your personal and economic interests lies — your home, your family, and the focus of your life. Registering with the communal authorities is strong evidence, though not conclusive on its own.
