When it comes to emigration, there are five persistent and recurring misconceptions about pensions and taxes:
- If I have paid the minimum AHV contribution, then I have no AHV gap. However, if there is an AHV gap, I can make additional payments for up to five years.
- If I always pay the Swiss health insurance premiums, then I am also insured.
- As a globetrotter who is deregistered in Switzerland, I don’t pay any taxes.
- If I get really ill, I can return to Switzerland and get treatment there through the compulsory health insurance scheme.
- It actually always makes sense to have BVG funds paid out via a vested benefits foundation in Schwyz.
