Quellensteuer *and* Provisorische Rechnung?
Hello,
I just had something funny happen. I am on a B permit, and living here since 2013. I have always paid Quellensteuer, and filed a tax return every year.
All of a sudden, in April 2020, I received a funny letter: Provisorsche Rechnung for Staats and Gemeindessteuer 2019. And a funny orange slip with almost my entire Quellensteuer amount required to be paid in 30 days in full.
And another one for 2020... with the option to pay in installments or a lump sum.
Has this happened to anyone? Where you are asked to pay Quellensteuer and a PR? I asked the payroll at my company and they said "it is best to pay it, and you will also receive a Bundessteuer PR for ~30% of your already existing PRs".
So... I have paid Quellensteuer for all of 2019, now I am asked to pay virtually that entire amount again. And it is about a 3 year lag here to settle taxes (I just got my Schlussrechnung for 2017)... so for 3 years they will have double the taxes from me?
The only thing that changed is I got married to another B Permit holder in Sept 2019... should I just go to the Steueramt and ask what is going on, because if I have to pay double my taxes (Quellen + PR) for every year and wait 3 years to get half back, its kinda.... rough... it's essentially something like 20% of my income deferred for 3 years?
Curious if anyone else had something similar (Canton ZH btw!)
