Hi everyone,

Yet another question regarding "Antragsformular für eine Korrekturberechnung der Quellensteuer" whose answer and my experience could be also useful for others.

On the March 9th, 2009 I have posted my “Antragsformular für eine Korrekturberechnung der Quellensteuer 2008” application form and its attachments to "Steueramt Zürich". Since I haven’t received any response from them yet, yesterday I called them to find out about the status of my application. As a result they informed me that my application wasn’t found in their records, and they asked me to send the photocopies of the application form and its attachments. Now the auditor(s) are going to decide whether I will be able to get the tax return that I deserve its every single Frank!

Of course we all know that the letter got lost in the office. But this doesn't change the fact that I am in a position that I missed the given submission deadline which is the end of the March. My question is that is there anyone who has a similar experience? If the auditors don't be willing to pay the tax return what kind of procedure shall I follow?

And finally when you submit this kind of forms always use registered letter (Einschreiben), so that you won't be the miserable who missed the deadline?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
