Refund Form for people being Taxed at source

I'm being taxed at source in Canton Zurich. I'm earning less than 120K and have a B-permit so don't really need to file a tax return.
Same as some previous posters I was thinking of filing one anyway as I think I could be entitled to a repayment, as I am commuting by car (lots of km to be claimed) and have Loan Interest I could claim.

I had a look on the Steueramt Website and came across this:

http://www.steueramt.zh.ch/html/form...g-2009_2-r.pdf

Does this mean I could file a claim for repayment through this form?
This would probably save me a lot of hassle as I wouldn't have to file a complete Tax return.

If anyone has used this before, please share.

Thanks for the help!

As far as I know you do not have to do a tax return if you earn less than 120K.

But if you do(which is not a MUST) you might get some money back but if you are unfortunate enough you might have to pay the tax office more money

Thats the reason I do not fill out tax returns

Malinda is right, a friend of mine on a B permit applied and got a bill for CHF 600,--

So maybe you should consult an expert. Many retired Swiss officials do this service for about CHF 70,-- You should look for small ads in newspapers or on shop pin boards. Look for the words "Steuer Erklärung" or "déclaration fiscale"

Thanks guys for the answers.
But the form doesn't look like a complete Tax Return but more like a specific refund form?

Or am I mistaken?
