Hi everyone, Looking for some advice regarding a transition between cantons. Last year, I lived in Ticino and was self-employed (sole proprietorship / ditta individuale ). It was my only source of income. This year, I moved to Zurich for a 100% full-time job as an employee. I didn’t transfer my independent activity to Zurich because I didn’t have any active contracts at the time and didn’t plan to continue freelancing. Now, an old client has reached out and asked if I can work for them for 3 months to wrap up a specific project. This is a one-off, exceptional case. I don’t plan on making freelancing a regular thing again. Do I really need to go through the paperwork of officially transferring/registering the sole proprietorship in Zurich for just 3 months of work? I was looking at the tax forms and saw section 6.3 “Other income” ( Altri redditi / Übrige Einkünfte ). Would it be correct to just list the income there to avoid the administrative headache of re-opening the business in another canton, or is it mandatory to declare it under Section 2 (Independent income)? submitted by /u/Tenceto
