Tax return questions

Hi,

I'm trying to fill in my first tax return form in Switzerland, and I have some questions, I was hoping someone here could help:

1. Regarding motor vehicles: I have two motorcycles bought new in the UK, but the form (tax software) only allows one vehicle to be declared (page 4, 30.4). Also, what purchase value should I declare, and at what exchange rate?

2. I remember being told that German classes are tax deductable, I suppose under Berufsauslagen section 5 Weiterbildungs- und Umschulungskosten. I can put mine in box 215, but, as my wife is not employed, the system won't let me put anything in her column (box 235). Any ideas? Can I claim deduction for these courses elsewhere?

3. My company has a canteen, but it's not subsidised (as far as I know), the prices are similar to Migros'. Is it correct to claim deduction for CHF 3200 in Berufsauslagen section 2/2.1, box 208?

Any idea would help.

Cheers, Anton
