Hello to All,

I live in kanton Zug for past 1 year and previously i was living in another Kanton for 2 years.
Being a non-eu on b permit(and salary less than 120K), I suppose the tax is deducted at source and I don't have to file any tax return. However, for some reasons i have received a Steuererklärung form.
Is it like we have to fill up tax returns in zug (I assume Steuererklärung means filing tax returns unless i am wrong) irrespective of salary amount ?
Can anybody recommend/suggest a good tax consultant in zug area?

many thanks

Was an explanation letter enclosed stating why you are required to complete one? I would go to the tax office in Bahnhofstrasse and ask why you are required to submit a tax declaratation. It could be the change of Kanton and different tax rates that they need it for.

I wouldn't recommend the accountancy firms I have used in Zug due to their insane prices. You need to get all the information prepared anyway, and I wasn't prepared to pay the prices they were quoting to fill in the boxes.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually there was no letter as such. The enclosures where the tax form (K), copy of the form, brochure to help in filing returns(not so helpful for me as my german is not at all good) and an envelope, thats it.
Does this filing happens in July/Aug, i though it would have been like April/May, but i could be wrong on this (my first time you see)

In any case, considering the case that I have to really fill up the returns(whatever reasons), I think I need a consultant anyways, so would really appreciate that as I have no other choice. Living in zug has never been sane (pricewise I mean)

Hi Ankur,

if you still need help with your tax form or you need an explanation make an appointment at the Migration Advisory Office in Zug.

I would agree that the Migration Advisory Office in Zug is very helpful and they can even complete your tax return form for you, for a small fee, if it is quite straightforward and you can supply relevant documentation (bank statements etc). They explained the process really well to me and I now know how to fill in the tax return myself for next year.

Thank you all for the replies. I visited them today but they are on a vacation.Will try next week. Cheers

Many Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. FSM(fachstelle migration) @ ZUG indeed filled up my tax forms for a fee(listed on the website too), and they were quite friendly.
Hlowever i forgot to ask them a question, may be helpful people at FE will clear it in no time.
Do i need to send any supporting documents while submitting steuerklarung 2008 like lohnausweis (copy or orginal), bank statements, basically all the docs i submitted to FSM in filling up my tax form ?

thanks a zillion

You need to submit the original Lohnausweis and copies of all the other statements.
