Hello everyone! I have been living in the Canton of Ticino since 2024. I hold a B permit, rent a home, and am taxed at source (with an annual income below 120,000 CHF) and I have never fill tax form. I requested a tax residence certificate for 2025 from Ticino. Friends living in other cantons (Zurich, Bern) have received their tax residence certificates without any issues, even though they meet the exact same conditions as I do. Ticino authorities have claimed that, because I am taxed at source, they cannot issue the tax certificate. According to Article 4 of the Double Taxation Convention between Switzerland and Greece (16.06.1983), I maintain my primary residence and center of vital interests in Lugano. I meet all criteria for unlimited tax liability in the Canton of Ticino, as defined in Article 3 of the Federal Act on Direct Federal Taxation (LIFD). Sources: Convention between Switzerland and Greece, Art. 4 Federal Act on Direct Federal Taxation (LIFD), Art. 3 Federal Directive (Circular No. 45 AFC): According to Section 3.1.1 of the Federal Circular No. 45, foreign workers with a residence in Switzerland are explicitly classified as “Residenti” (Residents), regardless of being taxed at source. Did you have similar issues? Or is it something that just happened to me? Please if someone had a similar situation assist me, I believe they do not treat me equal. Thank you for your attention and assistance. submitted by /u/Nspeaking
