What are the major tax laws in Switzerland?

Is the new UK tax laws going to make income tax and dividend tax the same?

• I seem to remember if I used my personal allowance and then had the rest in dividends my tax would be significantly decreased (up to £30,000~) because there was no tax on dividends below £30,000~? Is dividend tax now the same as income tax? Cheers

• Answer:

  Didividends have three rates of tax. That is 10% basic, 32.5% higher and 42.5% additional (has this been phased out with the 50% tax rate?). The basic rate goes up to £35000. Most dividends come with a 10% tax credit so if your total income is less than £35000 there will be no more tax to pay. If your total income is above £35000 you will pay an extra 22.5% (32.5% less the 10% tax credit).
