Hi all, I am a US citizen moving to CH. I'll keep my US passport. Will I still be able to claim the VAT tax when shopping in the EU? Any idea how this works?

You absolutely will as Switzerland is not in EU. I claim it as a Swiss citizen.


The only thing im not sure about is whether you can claim on swiss purchases as a resident when heading back to the US, gut feeling says no.

Thank you!

You will get a Swiss residence card and you will be able to Claim it.
But when entering Switzerland you will have to declare anything above 300 CHF and pay 7.7% on the total amount.
Claims are also a bit more complicated if you travel by train - I never managed to do it- as I think you would have to exit at the border station and clear customs.

Not sure if you will be able to claim using Us passport and then claim it when going back to Swiss (intheory Yes - you can claim your doping a eurotrip and will be flying to US from ZRH)

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience

Hello
I was hired by a SaaS company for 95,000 Fr as a Senior Full Stack Developer. I have 9 years of experience and I worked in multiple startups and technologies. I also have relatively better experience in NodeJS, React, SQL, Elasticsearch.
I wouldn't say I am great at solving coding challenges but I believe with some practice I can get better.
Do you think I can get a better salary with my situation? (Swiss Wage calculator estimates 8500+ Fr. per month for Zurich area).
