Deductions worth checking
- Pillar 3a contributions, up to about CHF 7,258 as of 2025
- Pension-fund buy-ins, deductible in the year of payment
- Commuting costs, up to CHF 3,000 at federal level
- Work-related further education and childcare costs
The deductions most expats miss
Most newcomers leave money on the table. The big ones: pillar 3a contributions (deductible up to about CHF 7,258 a year for employees, as of 2025), voluntary pillar 2 buy-ins, your commute (up to CHF 3,000 at federal level), further-education costs (up to CHF 12,000), insurance premiums, childcare, and the double-earner deduction for working couples. We check every one against your canton's rules.
Withholding tax essentials
- Deducted directly from your salary by your employer
- Above roughly CHF 120,000 gross you file an ordinary return
- A correction request has a fixed annual deadline (31 March)
- Deductions are only partly built into the tariff
Taxed at source? You may still want to file
If you hold a B permit, your tax is usually deducted straight from your salary (Quellensteuer). But you must file an ordinary return (NOV) if your gross income tops CHF 120,000 - and you can request one to claim deductions like pillar 3a, buy-ins or childcare, which often triggers a refund. The request deadline is typically 31 March. We work out whether filing puts money back in your pocket.
Swiss tax returns - common expat questions
How much does a Swiss tax return cost?
From CHF 35 for students and apprentices, CHF 99 for individuals and CHF 149 for married couples (fixed prices, as of 2025). Property adds CHF 65 per unit. You only pay once your return is finished, within 14 days.
I'm taxed at source (Quellensteuer) - do I still need to file?
With a B permit you're usually taxed at source. You must file an ordinary return (NOV) if your gross income exceeds CHF 120,000, and you can request one to claim deductions such as pillar 3a, buy-ins or childcare - which often produces a refund. We check whether filing is worth it for you.
When is the tax deadline?
Most cantons want the return by around 31 March, but we extend the deadline for you automatically, so you're never rushed.
Which cantons do you cover?
All 26 Swiss cantons, with the canton-specific deductions checked for each return.
What documents do I need?
Typically your salary certificate, health-insurance premium statement, pillar 3a certificate, and bank and securities statements, plus receipts for any deductions. We send you a simple checklist.
Do I have to declare income and assets abroad?
As a Swiss tax resident you declare worldwide income and wealth. Foreign property and accounts are not always taxed twice, but they can affect your rate. We handle the cross-border side.
How long does it take?
Around 10 to 14 days once we have your complete documents.
