The 25% option for residents of Peio
Peio is one of the municipalities that joined the 20 km band only in 2023. Anyone already working in Ticino, Graubunden or Valais between 31.12.2018 and 17.07.2023 may choose, in their tax return, a substitute tax of 25% of the tax paid in Switzerland instead of income tax and both surtaxes. With the option the canton applies the full tariffs rather than the reduced ones, so it does not always pay off.

In the example above the better choice is 25% substitute tax, worth 10,799 EUR a year.
