Hi,

Can anyone reccomend a good english speaking accountant for valais and if anyone has a list of what you can deduct from the business for tax purposes

Whatever you cab get away with

Whats the limit

claiming back for a works van etc ?

I think grumpygratefruit posted a link a couple of times to start up help. Maybe a good start to learn what is possible.

cheers ill try and track it done thanks

all depends how creative you are


(The Swiss tax people aren't quite so anal as HMCR)

Anything that is purely and obviously needed for your business. And a few other things as well (toilet rolls, some restaurant bills and travel expenses etc), as long as you don't take the P. It's quite common sense really.

And while we're here, do you have a link yet for the iLocal page that wanted feedback on? We're mostly a very helpful lot and we have an awful lot of experience between us to help you, if you help us with the correct info in the first place.

^ this, this, this.

Hi, is it possible to share the link? I’m unable to find this

Here's a list of possible tax deductions covering Switzerland by category and by canton (German):

Thank you Sir!

I'd recommend you look into a limited company. massively advantageous compared to a sole proprietor.

I’m sure he is and also his whole office is fluent in French, Italian and English and I personally like too much his services.

Why would a limited company be massively better than a sole proprietorship?


In fact, our fiducaire / comptable is strongly against turning my company into a ltd. since it will only create an additional financial/administrative burden.

don't know. my accountant ran the numbers and the tax rate was hugely different. something like 48% vs 19%. i think it mostly boiled down to income tax vs dividends.
