I will be happy to assist in preparing your tax return or claiming a correction of withholding tax – starting at 80 CHF (for a simple tax return). I can also perform tax calculations / estimations as necessary.

In general, if you are not required to submit a tax return, you could eventually reduce your tax burden by submitting a claim for the correction of withholding tax (source tax deducted from your salary). The correction claim can be submitted for the following:

• Cost of international weekly residence
• Debt interest (consumer loans and credit cards)
• Further education and retraining costs
• Health and accident costs
• Costs associated with disability
• Support payments
• Alimony payments
• Contributions in recognized forms to own pension provisioning (pillar 3a)
• Purchases of contribution years in a pension fund (2nd pillar)
• Exceptional travel expenses (over 10,000 km per annum)
• Childcare costs
• Donations

If a correction of withholding tax is applied for, the application has to be submitted by 31st March 2012 for the year 2011 (for most of the cantons). The same applies to tax returns (the deadline for the tax returns can be extended).

All exchange of data / information can be performed electronically; in most cases, no meeting will be necessary. You will receive the tax documents as a PDF file ready for signature.

For further information / details, please send me a private message.

P.S. I have a legal background and many years’ legal and tax experience. Working from a “home office”, I can offer very competitive fees. Currently I provide assistance for individuals domiciled in German speaking cantons only (due to language issues).
