Also, the lower taxes is often eaten up by the higher rent in BL.
It can definitely save you money to live in basel land. Hover, I did a recent comparison between BS and Allschwil BL and found that taxes would be higher in Allschwil! So you have to be very careful as to where you decide to live, if having cheaper taxes versus living in the city is a concern.
Yes, Basel Stadt is the city of Basel, and Basel Land is the suburbs and the outlying areas.
VAT is Value Added Tax.
The airport is in basel stadt or basel land?
If we work at the airport what canton/region/location would be more convenient to choose for rent a flat?
Pls, I know I put many questions and there are many things that most of you consider obvious but for me everything is .. new: the terms, the systems, the customs, etc. So, my apologise for all.
The airport is in France, actually!
It is closest to Basel Stadt and Allschwil in Basel Land. Most of the flight path is over France, except when the wind blows at a certain speed, then it goes right over my apartment .
If you are working at the airport and will not be driving, make sure to look for a flat with easy connections to the bus line 50, as it is the only way to get to the airport by public transportation.
Feel free to ask all the questions you need - we were all new here once, too!
