"Switzerland's decentralised taxation system is causing irritation among its European Union neighbours."Oh really, would've never guessed.
"Its overall tax rate of 21% is not the lowest in Europe, but still far lower than Switzerland's immediate neighbours Germany, France, Italy and Austria."
Oh yes, love it! Why do you think I moved here?
"In New York I had a wonderful apartment, but in the morning I'd wake up and look out the window and wave to my neighbour. Here I wake up and look out and I see the Alps."
Ok, so not everything is better...mind you, with the neighbours I have maybe the Alps really are better.
"So far, the Swiss government will not budge; ministers say they view an attack on the tax system as an attack on Swiss sovereignty.
The row is sure to simmer on. Meanwhile the businesses and the celebrities just keep on coming."
