Re: Leaving Switzerland Permanently

Is it very naive of me to think that I can make an appointment with the Steueramt and sort out the final bill for 2009 before I leave end of November? My taxes are deducted monthly - I dont do the saving up and paying once per year malarky...

For EU citizens, a visit to the Stadthaus (Zürich - Stadthausquai 17) involved filling out the inevitable A4 form then a visit to the Steueramt across the road to make sure everything is above board financially (no doing runners etc.). I have an accountant (Steuerberater/Treuhand), so I signed a form giving him authority to act for me should there be any monies due, Tax 2009 etc. Across the road again to the Stadthaus again to deliver the piece of paper the Steueramt gave me.. The Stadthaus peeple then gave me another piece of paper to take to the Amtshaus in Helvetiaplatz (Tram no. 8 from Paradeplatz). All in all, the whole process took about two hours and cost CHF 60,00 for two people. A whole morning with the swiss civil service, CHF 60,00 is reasonable.


All misspelt words are my own dooing, honestly.
