Moving to Switzerland from the United Kingdom

Hi,

Recently I have taken an interest in moving elsewhere to live. Now even though I haven't made my decision to which country to live, Switzerland is high on the list.

My main motivation for wanting to leave London, UK is the cost of the house prices, expensive commute and the difficulty of actually saving money.

Therefore my question centers around the salaries, tax, house prices in Switzerland. I haven't made any decision on the city itself yet.

What is the taxes and salaries like in Switzerland? I would prefer moving to a place with the highest salaries and lowest taxes where saving potential is greatest. Ofcourse the cost of living is important too. I don't want to move to Switzerland for it to become another London where moneywise nothing has changed because the cost of living is higher.

That said I am open to suggestions if you know of any other countries with a high salary to low tax rate with good cost of living.

I work as a software engineer.

Kind regards,

Mike
