How to read this search for an Italian-Swiss cross-border worker

The listings above are selected for the occupational terms in software developer ticino. Check the original listing for responsibilities, qualifications, location and application status. Inclusion here does not automatically confirm recognition of a foreign qualification or your individual eligibility for a work permit.

What the 2026 New Agreement changes

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

G permit or B permit: which fits this profile?

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. In Ticino, issuing or renewing a G permit for an adult EU/EFTA national costs CHF 75; other procedures and categories have different fees. https://www4.ti.ch/di/spop/stranieri/richiesta-nuovo-g/
