Frontalier home working deal close

Paris and Bern are close to an agreement on how cross border workers should be treated if they work from home.

Since lockdowns, both countries have agreed to turn a blind eye to the potential legal problems of Swiss based staff working from their French home.  

The two countries have been putting off a final decision for the last year – but now it seems a solution is close. 

The basis of the new deal will allow a home working rate of 40% maximum with an annual limit of 90 days.

And Switzerland will pay some of the tax back collected on cross border workers if the number of days worked is more than 40 over the course of the year.

While this will mostly affect those working for companies in Geneva – the agreement will cover the whole country.
