Comparing Taxation between cantons

Taxes
1

Hi,

been living and working in switzerland for quite a while. I do have dual citizenship german / swiss by now.

I still find it very confusing to compare taxation between cantons, even with the available calculation tools comparis etc (the savings never seem to match and provide clear picture, depending which tool is used)

Specifically i ask myself whether a change of canton makes sense finanancially. i live in BS but consider movig to AG for the view and to safe taxes of course

Anybody with practical experience?

Anybody have an idea what tax savings can be achieved for a salary of ie 100, 150 and 200K per year?

With the existing tools I am geeting number all over the place between, saving potentially between 2000 CHF to 9000 CHF a year.

What calculation tools do you find reliable?

thanks a bunch

swisstaxcalculator.estv.admin.ch is the best resource in my opinion, this from the federal tax administration and has correct, up-to-date data for every municipality. You can also compare different municipalities there.

I think the difficult part usually are the deductions. They are very personal and can make a big difference.
The calculator above can take them into account, but to actually find how much you qualify for is a big task.
