Information for cross-border workers
lastminute.com is based in Chiasso in the Canton of Ticino, Switzerland. Cross-border workers need a G Permit to work at this company. The Canton of Ticino applies withholding tax at variable rates on the gross income of cross-border employees. Use our free tax simulator to calculate your net salary and compare the cost of living between Switzerland and Italy.
The G permit covers work in Switzerland while keeping the main residence abroad and returning at least weekly. The B permit concerns residence in Switzerland: the choice follows actual residence, not an automatic tax advantage. The 20 km limit belongs to the treaty tax definition, not the residence requirement for an EU/EFTA G permit. SPOP
Article 9 preserves exclusive Swiss taxation of the covered salary for old cross-border workers, with no automatic expiry in 2033 or 2034. Eligibility requires qualifying cross-border employment in Ticino, Graubünden or Valais between 31 December 2018 and 17 July 2023 and the applicable conditions, including residence in a border-zone municipality and return home in principle daily. New fiscal cross-border workers pay Swiss withholding at 80% of the ordinary rate and Italian tax with a credit for Swiss tax. The 40% compensation paid by Switzerland to Italy ends with tax year 2033; this is not an expiry of individual tax status. ESTV
Swiss social-charge breakdown. The gross salary advertised in lastminute.com listings is subject to AVS-AI-IPG (5.3 % employee, 5.3 % employer), unemployment insurance (1.1 % up to CHF 148,200/year) and LPP — the mandatory occupational pension — with rates climbing from 7 % at age 25 to 18 % over age 55. Adding withholding tax and social charges, the typical gross-to-net gap is 18-28 %. For an exact calculation on the work city in the listing and your personal parameters use the salary calculator.
What to expect from the commute. Working for lastminute.com in Chiasso , the daily commute from Como typically goes through the Brogeda (A2 motorway) or Chiasso-strada crossing for destinations in Mendrisiotto/Luganese, taking 25-50 minutes at peak times depending on the border queue. From Varese or Luino, the Stabio or Gaggiolo crossings offer alternatives. To estimate monthly fuel cost, vehicle wear and time lost at the border, see the cross-border commuter guide and the live border-wait map: combining those numbers with net salary is the right way to compare a lastminute.com offer with an Italian alternative.
Economic context for evaluating lastminute.com
Typical salary ranges in the Canton of Ticino. Gross monthly salaries for cross-border workers in Ticino typically split into three bands: junior and operational roles between CHF 4,200 and CHF 5,400 per month (13th included); intermediate and skilled-technical roles between CHF 5,500 and CHF 8,200; specialist, managerial and regulated roles between CHF 8,500 and CHF 14,000. For lastminute.com the actual band depends on the applicable collective agreement (CCL), seniority and required certifications. Always compare the Swiss gross with the Italian net equivalent: for the same job in Ticino the net is typically 25-45 % higher than the Italian counterpart due to lower fiscal and social burden.
CHF/EUR exchange rate impact on purchasing power. Your CHF salary needs to be converted into EUR for Italian expenses (mortgage, school, groceries, utilities): a CHF/EUR rate at 1.06 vs 0.95 changes net EUR by up to 12 % at the same Swiss gross. Cross-border workers at companies like lastminute.com can hedge this exchange-rate risk by opening a multi-currency account in Italy, keeping a CHF reserve for Swiss expenses (parking, canteen, occasional shopping near the border) and converting to EUR only the share destined for Italian spending. Traditional bank FX fees (1.5-3 %) erode the benefit: use specialised providers (Wise, Revolut Premium) or a negotiated FX deal with your Italian bank to maximise effective net.
Benefits to negotiate at offer stage. Beyond the gross salary, always evaluate non-cash benefits when lastminute.com extends an offer: pension (LPP) contribution above the legal minimum (8-12 % of gross is the benchmark for skilled roles in Ticino), 13th and 14th-month payments, annual bonus tied to targets (typically 5-15 % of gross), holiday entitlement beyond the legal 4-week minimum (competitive employers offer 5-6 weeks), continuous training (CHF 1,500-3,500/year budget for senior roles), supplementary LCA health insurance and remote-work flexibility. The latter is critical: since 1 January 2024 cross-border workers can work remotely up to 25 % of the time without losing fiscal status, but the employer must explicitly include this in the contract.
Working at lastminute.com as a cross-border worker
lastminute.com hires in the technology / IT / telecoms sector across the Canton of Ticino, with a direct presence in Chiasso. For Italian cross-border workers, applying to one of the 6 open roles means entering an employment relationship governed by the G permit: residence in an Italian municipality within 20 km of the border, weekly return to that residence, and a contract signed in Switzerland. lastminute.com’s typical contract types are full-time, and the reference role for the salary survey on this page is software developer or systems engineer.
Three things matter more than the headline gross when evaluating an lastminute.com offer: the sector salary band for technology / IT / telecoms in Ticino (CHF 5,500–7,200 for junior roles, CHF 7,800–11,500 for mid roles, CHF 12,500–18,000 for senior roles, 13th included); cantonal withholding tax and Swiss social charges (see the cross-border worker guide); and the commute distance, particularly if Chiasso sits off the standard Brogeda or Stabio crossings. Always compare the Swiss net to the Italian net equivalent before accepting.
Average sector salary at lastminute.com: a CHF→EUR scenario
To quantify the real upside of joining lastminute.com we use a software developer or systems engineer at the bottom of the mid band (7'800 CHF gross monthly) as a reference. Across 13 monthly payments that is CHF 101,400 gross per year. After withholding tax (~10 % in Ticino for a single filer with no dependants) and Swiss social charges (AHV/IV/EO, ALV, BVG/LPP), the figure lands at roughly CHF 79,092 net per year. Converted at a CHF/EUR rate of 1.08 (local ECB snapshot updated on 4 October 2026), that’s EUR 85,238 of Italian-side purchasing power.
The same role under a comparable Italian collective agreement rarely exceeds EUR 28,000 net per year. The headline upside in Ticino is real, but subtract cross-border specifics: fuel and vehicle wear (~CHF 3,000–5,000/year), workplace parking, optional supplementary LAMal premiums if your employer requires them. For a personalised simulation that accounts for age, family status and your home town use the salary calculator; to discover other employers in the technology / IT / telecoms sector see the Ticino job board.
How to apply & FAQ

The 6 lastminute.com open positions on this page are aggregated by our crawler every 24 hours from the official "Careers" pages and the main Swiss ATS systems (Greenhouse, Workday, SmartRecruiters, jobs.ch, jobup.ch). Clicking a posting routes you to the original company listing: always apply on the official site, never via unverified intermediaries. Cached entries can lag the upstream feed by up to 24 hours.
- Does lastminute.com accept speculative applications?
- Most Swiss employers the size of lastminute.com run an always-on candidate portal. Even if no current opening matches your profile, send CV + cover letter through the official careers section: Swiss HR teams retain speculative applications for 6–12 months and reactivate them when an adjacent role opens.
- What benefits does lastminute.com typically offer beyond salary?
- Employers in the technology / IT / telecoms sector in Ticino typically offer: a guaranteed 13th-month salary, 4–5 weeks of vacation, an LPP/BVG occupational pension contribution above the legal minimum, ongoing training, and remote work up to 25 % for cross-border employees (per the 2024 fiscal agreement). Performance bonuses and a company car depend on seniority.
- How long does the hiring process take?
- For operational or mid-level roles at companies the size of lastminute.com, the standard funnel is: CV screening (1–2 weeks), HR phone or video screen (30–45 minutes), one or two technical/managerial interviews, an optional assessment or case study, and an offer. Typical end-to-end: 4–8 weeks from application to signature. The G permit is then requested by the employer and takes another 2–6 weeks to issue.

How we collect listings and what this page guarantees
Listings on this page come from a proprietary crawler that polls the main Swiss ATS (Smartrecruiters, Workday, proprietary trackers like Talentry and ServiceNow) every 6 hours, plus the cantonal Ticino Job Center, JobUp, JobScout24 and the career pages of long-standing Ticino employers. Every listing passes a deduplication check on normalised title + company + municipality before publication, so the same role does not appear twice even when the employer posts it on three portals. The displayed date is the original publication date — not the crawl timestamp — so you can judge the freshness. We keep listings online for 30 days or until the employer removes them from its ATS (we verify HTTP 404 and "position closed" redirects every 12 hours).
Living in Italy and working in Ticino: the cross-border geography
Chiasso is 5 km from Como and 28 km from Varese, with off-peak driving time around 8 minutes (peaks 06:30-07:30 and 16:30-19:00) and 10 minutes by TILO regional train (Como-Chiasso-Chiasso line). The fastest crossings for Chiasso-bound commuters are Chiasso-Strada, Brogeda, Pedrinate: peak-time queues can exceed 25 minutes at Brogeda, while Stabio flows more smoothly after 07:15. The local economy is anchored in logistica e dogane, banche, gestione patrimoni: workers in these sectors find a deep market with frequent role rotation and well-structured collective agreements. These listings concern Ticino. A G permit covers work in Switzerland while keeping a main residence abroad and returning at least weekly. The 20 km border zone is a treaty tax condition, not a general EU/EFTA G-permit requirement. In Ticino, issuance and renewal for adult EU/EFTA nationals cost CHF 75; other categories and procedures have different fees. Apply before starting work and check the expiry shown on the permit.

CHF gross salary: how to land at real take-home
When a listing states pay, check the gross amount, pay period, workload and number of salary payments. Take-home pay depends on cantonal rates, pension contributions and personal circumstances. For new cross-border workers meeting the Italy–Switzerland agreement conditions, Switzerland applies 80% of ordinary withholding tax; this percentage is not a cap on the Italian tax credit. The hiring date alone does not determine the regime: residence, workplace and daily return in principle also matter. The transitional regime requires checking qualifying frontier work between 31 December 2018 and 17 July 2023. Outside the agreement conditions, the applicable treatment must be checked separately. Enter the offer details in the calculator for an estimate and assess actual commuting costs separately. Official source: ESTV / AFC
Example: a manager with a CHF 5'769 gross monthly offer in Chiasso (CHF 75,000 gross/year over 13 months). Source tax ~13 % (~CHF 750), AVS-AI-IPG 5.3 % (~CHF 306), LPP ~7 % (~CHF 404). Swiss net ~CHF 4'309/month. EUR rate at 0.97 → ~EUR 4'180. The fiscal compensation between states is not a worker refund; any Italian tax depends on the applicable regime. The Frontaliere Ticino calculator handles both regimes (old + new agreement) and shows the effective net.
Frequent questions from cross-border readers
How many days a week can I work remotely while keeping cross-border status?
For Italy–Switzerland tax frontier workers, home working up to 25% of working time preserves the agreement’s tax treatment. Social insurance has separate rules: between 25% and 49.9%, Swiss coverage may continue under the multilateral exemption if its conditions are met and the employer requests an A1 certificate. Agree the share and formalities with HR. Tax rules; social insurance.
Does Chiasso have a different border zone than the rest of Switzerland?
No: the "border zone" of the 2024 Italy-Switzerland agreement is the same across the Canton of Ticino — Italian municipalities within 20 km of the Swiss border. What changes between Lugano and Bellinzona is the commute time, not the tax regime. Your Italian residence stays in the same municipality even if you switch employers between Ticino cities.
Are Italian qualifications recognised for this sector in Chiasso?
For non-regulated professions, formal recognition is not a prerequisite for applying. For regulated professions, identify the competent body: SERI does not handle every application. Search for the occupation on recognition.swiss and follow the document and procedure requirements. Processing time depends on the complete application and responsible body; there is no guaranteed duration shared by every profession.
How much does the commute actually cost on a monthly basis?
Calculate the actual return distance and monthly days on site. For a car, include fuel consumption and price, parking, tolls, maintenance and a share of fixed costs. For rail, check the pass price for the route and any connecting journeys. Compare options using the same working days, including travel time and compatibility with shifts. Commuting costs reduce your available budget; a tax deduction is not automatic.
