G-permit cleaners need a different path — and it's doable

Someone who lives in Germany, France, Italy or Austria and commutes to work in Switzerland daily has a G-permit. The simplified procedure does not apply to them — that's about source-tax rules and double-taxation treaties. Instead, you register them directly with the cantonal compensation office and the withholding-tax office of your canton. More steps, but doable — especially in Geneva, Basel, Ticino, where it's routine.

What you concretely have to do as employer

  1. Register as an employer with the cantonal compensation office (one-time).
  2. Take out UVG accident insurance — with Suva or a private insurer.
  3. Source-tax filing: monthly statement to the cantonal tax office at the rate matching family status.
  4. Produce payslips — with both social deductions AND source tax withheld.
  5. Issue annual salary statement, submit cantonal wage-structure report, close out source tax for the year.

Why Clino isn't built for this today

We focus on the simplified procedure — the easiest legal path for 90% of Swiss private households. Source tax for cross-border workers is its own specialism (cantonal tariffs, monthly filings, dual bookkeeping). We don't ship that half-built — either properly or not at all. If you need help today, Quitt is the pragmatic answer.
