| 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? | |
| | |
You have to declare both of your vehicles at market value, usually a yearly depreciation of 40% is assumed.

| 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? | |

Languages classes are only tax deductible if there is a connection between language proficiency and employment. Your wife is not employed and has therefore no
Berufsauslagen.

| 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? | |

Field G on your Lohnausweis (salary statement) states whether you are entitled to a full or only partial deduction.
