Re: Taxation as a married couple
Conflicting answers! They are probably all correct too. You will need to look up your cantonal tax authority online or in the info that comes with your tax declaration.

For canton Zurich its states:
Quote:


Bei Heirat in der Steuerperiode 2006 werden Ehe gat ten erstmals für die Steuer periode 2007 (Steuererklärung 2007 im Kalenderjahr 2008) gemeinsam ein ge schätzt; für die Steu er pe ri ode 2006 wird jeder Ehegatte noch ge trennt besteuert. Dem ent spre chend hat jeder Ehegatte im Kalenderjahr 2007 eine separate Steu er er klä rung 2006 einzureichen.

You are only taxed as married in the tax year follwing the marriage.
