We paid the 9k bill. Didn't think we had an option. My company helped defray some of the cost which helped, but still an outrageous amount to charge.
Nearly incredible... I worked for 10 years for Big4 companies in taxes (which are known for outrageous fees...) and I have rarely seen a bill for filing a tax return exceeding CHF 4'000-5'000. It can go up to CHF 10K, but for a very very complicated situation with a lot of issues and parallel questions. I have never seen and heard such fees from a company which is not a Big4. This is just insane and as a professional and certified tax advisor I can only tell you this is just a shame! All they deserve is a denunciation to the Swiss Treuhandkammer and all the bad publicity you can make. I am ... just out of words...
