- Graubünden publishes tariffs with and without church tax. You pay church tax only if you belong to a recognised church.
- Cross-border commuters from Germany with a residence certificate (Gre-1) pay Swiss withholding tax of at most 4.5%.
- Graubünden has no special agreement with France, so commuters from France pay the normal tariff.
