Hi,
This is Amit from Zurich, Seebach.
I will be leaving Switzerland in next 2 months, so what are the formalities i have to complete before i leave.

i am here from last 2 years and i have L permit.

Thanks.

Probably not a thorough checklist, but these pop in my head right now (in order of priority, perhaps):

1) Send your landlord/lady the mandatory Kündigung (informing him/her that you will end your rental contract)
2) Start trying to sell your car
3) Drop by the Steueramt and inform them you will be de-registering soon. Ask them for the paperwork for your last tax declaration in advance.
4) Call your Telecoms (phone, TV, internet, cell phone) company and put a final service date. Same thing with your credit card, insurance companies (car insurance, private insurance, health insurance), Bilag and any additional utilities/services/subscriptions.
5) If you plan to keep your bank account open, give your bank a forwarding address. Otherwise find out if you can close your account remotely (I was able with UBS some years ago when I left for the US for a while).

Perhaps other EFers can contribute with things I might be missing ?

It seems I may be leaving this pleasant land in the next few months too.

This is very useful for folks leaving the country - do the same things (i.e. the Steuermat) apply when you are moving to a different Canton? Pardon my ignorance. I am sure there must be some checklist out there that I am missing.

I am also leaving this wonderful land and was wondering if I'm entitled to tax back? I have been here for a year and a half on a B permit so my tax is automatically deducted on a monthly basis. Any advice would be appreciated

What do you mean by "tax back" ? If you are thinking specifically about taxes, I would say it depends on your Tax Return and its results. I reckon you might be talking about your pension fund deductions. Should that be the case, I am sure there are quite a few threads about it. A quick search yielded these two:
1) Pension / AHV --> how do I get the money?
2) AHV withdrawal after leaving CH

And don't forget the big kiss and leaving present from the lucky dip back that the local gemeinde will give you.

Cheers,
Nick

Indeed, you should expect to receive a final tax adjustment and you are bound to actually have to PAY some income tax. Probably will be compensated by your last salary liquidation anyhow.

Moderator, Please close the thread. Thanks.
