hello, i am an american with an L-permit (i'll have to apply soon for a B-permit). i'm in my second year working at a dance school here and would like to know if i have to file a tax declaration. my employer is taking quellensteuer out of my salary every month, but do i need to take some action myself?
thanks in advance!!

I guess you have to, in Switzerland.
Unfortunately, you definitely have to file (and pay) taxes in the US.

if you earn more than 120,000 CHF then you WILL have to make a 'proper' tax return. the tax athorities will get around to sending you the forms to do this eventually. It could take 6--9 months from the beginning of the year to get the forms from them and then it could take up to 2 years or before that return is finally settled. at which point you will have moved on tho the next year, etc. etc.

If you earn less than 120,000CHF then you do not have to make a return, the tax deducted at source should cover it. unless you think you have deductibles that should be considered by the tax office. In this case YOU have to get in touch with them, explaining your situation.

Why are you digging up old threads and giving bad, or at least incomplete, information?

I should of noticed that. Doh! Thanks for pointing it out.

Second one I've seen from that poster. Some wares to hawk no doubt...

...maybe he was looking for the door, which he did indeed find.

At least your answer was more complete.
