First thing: Many thanks to Richard for this useful post (the thanks button appears to be gone).

Last year I used a Treuhand, but armed with that completed form and this thread, I felt I was able to do my tax return myself.

But I have a question about the bit on the ZH tax return about shares.

First, I did not get a statement from Swissquote at year end, so presumably the Zürich authorities are going to trust whatever I tell them - I couldn't find a "request a statement for tax purposes" option on the Swissquote web site. Or what should I do?

Second, shares values change all the time, so what number would one put down for the shares' value? Logic states this is just the price I paid for them. But this is a tax form, so logic need not apply.

The Lohnausweis I got from my employer had a very different format this year. Is the Lohnausweis a standard document?
