Useful reading
The calculator implements the Italy-Switzerland cross-border regime (Ticino withholding tax plus Italian IRPEF with its allowance). It does not reproduce the regime described on this page, so its result does not apply to residents here.
Homeoffice days do not count as non-return days.
