query for filing Tax return

hello,

i am employed right now in zurich and i have temporary contract till end of 2010. it might be extended after that. I am employed here from last 1.5 years. the tax is deducted directly from salary as i m not swiss citizen. i also have some other expenses, investments etc in switzerland.

i want to know can i file my tax return in switzerland ? what could be the benefits of filing it even if it is not mandatory to file ?

which are the good companies who can support in filing tax return and how much they charge generally ?

Re: query for filing Tax return

If you have a salary above 125K CHF/year you can file your tax returns. Generally the tax filing company charges you on per hour basis.

You can also download DrTax software and complete yourself! Charges to do so for you can/do run into 4 figures; which unless you earning considerably more then 125CHF a year truly defeats the object! You wont save money; you spend more...

Re: query for filing Tax return

Hi, I have my first tax return and have been reading all these forums. I have never paid anyone to do my return in Oz or UK so would rather learn to do it myself here also if possible. You are seemingly the first to mention the Dr Tax software - have you used it and is it useful? My ability to read and write French is good but I find the tax form a bit complicated....
Thanks v much!

Re: query for filing Tax return

We-ve used it several years running, in Vaud and now Zug assuming you have a reasonably straight forward return the principle advantage is that it prompts you through the forms in effect.

You could try the online software downloadable from the vaud site too which is free; told that Dr Tax is better cause it prefills the maximum allowance for a few fields; whereas the download from the tax office does not..

Did use the downloadable software one year some years ago; in Vaud.
