Re: questions on quellensteuer (tax at source for expats)

Quote:
yes but he pays quellensteuer. If you earn less than 120k and pay quellensteuer, you are not allowed to fill in a tax return...?! I was told that if you want to fill one in, you have to apply to the kanton, not the gemeinde to ask to be reconsidered, in other words, that you argue you should be taxed like the swiss and I am not sure if that is a safe thing to do.

I was told by a guy who works on tax refunds that to reclaim the 3a tax, you need a special form, which you send in with a copy of your deposits and a salary statement...
We already discussed the issue about whether you can fill in a tax return if you earn less than 120k on another thread (in great detail) so I don't want to go into it here. But the short answer is that you can do it if you want to (you have to work out if it would save you money). This has nothing to do with being taxed like the Swiss. For more details use the search function...
