As I recently said in my annual spending post, I paid 1155 Francs last year. Luckily, this was the 11th and last time. I can‘t really remember how much it was the years before (will look up the last few years this evening).
Whenever the bill came, it at least made me feel good about my shitty PhD salary. On the bright side, this tax doesn’t go to the military directly, it just goes to the general budget of the government.
Edit: Here are the Data from the last couple of years:
2021: 1155
2020: 990
2019: 996
2016-2018 was probably also around 1k a year.
2011-2015 was the minimum (first 200, then it was changed to 400)
In total, this makes around 8-9k. Seems like I got away cheap
