Did you orderly ask for leave of absence and unregister your paperwork in Switzlerand before you left? Or were you officially
registered somewhere in Switzerland (beyond your place of origin)?
I left Zurich in 1996 and paid upfront. I was told one has to pay only for the first three years. They took my starting salary and
extrapolated for three years. I paid it right there. I was under the assumption that this was it.
Does your e-mail mean that after I get back my income will be re-evaluated and ajusted for my actual income? And will I have to pay
for all the years?
