Border commuters under pressure: Klingenbach blocks streets for passage!

The municipality of Klingenbach has taken drastic measures against the increase in border commuters by setting up a roadblock to force drivers to use a bypass. This happened after a traffic survey showed that 90 percent of the vehicles were only on the passage to the roundabout behind the municipality. Mayor Richard Frank (SPÖ) emphasized the need for this decision to ensure the safety of residents. This is particularly important because many children are on the road on these roads and the residents also complain about increasing noise and air pollution. The reporting of Today was very well received by the residents who were relieved about the new measures.

tax tariffs for border commuters

In addition, many border pendants are the different tax tariffs that apply to them, new and important. The common tariff codes include A for single people without children and F for Italian cross -border commuters. An example from suedtirolerchenwelt.org shows that a man who works in Switzerland and whose wife is employed in South Tyrol, depending on the tax rate between 5.47% and 5,12% source tax must. These adjustments in tax policy are crucial for the border commuters because they have to be clear about their financial obligations.

With the new regulation, it is important to comprehensively understand the rights and obligations as border commuters in order to avoid unexpected financial burdens. The changes that have been in force since January 2021 ensure that border commuters are treated equally and, according to the principle of equal treatment, are taxed on their global income. These complex tax requirements require precise communication of the income, which the employees must pass on to the respective employers in order to ensure correct taxation.
