Where is this coming from? I got a dividend in Switzerland, and it isn't taxed at 35%. What they do is they keep 35% until the next year, at which time you can have it. Dividend tax is a much lower amount.

ps. Is there any change you're tax-evading? :-) j/k probably to get taxed at 35% you need to be pass a specific amount or something (not sure though).

It says it can be deducted in full. That's not really a tax now, is it?

Depends on the specifics, I don't know how easily and under what circumstances you get the refund. But you have a point there, sure.

On the other hand, their tax system seems to work wonders and gives you the impression that there is a strong justice estate.
