Tax declarations and tax counseling for foreign citizens and expatriates

With your new Swiss residency, you will most probably become liable for taxation here in Switzerland. Due to our many years of experience with taxation of foreign citizens and immigrant workers, we are a perfect choice if you need professional help with your taxes or have questions regarding the Swiss system of taxation.

Annual tax declarations

In case you are working for a company with Swiss domicile and earn a yearly gross income of at least CHF 120’000, you will have to fill out an annual tax declaration. It would be our pleasure to undertake this task for you and we will make sure that all deductible expenses will be claimed. In case you are interested in the services we provide, please do not hesitate to contact us for a non-binding offer or inquiry

Tax levied at source /withholding tax (Quellensteuern)

All cantons tax the earned income of foreigners temporarily working in Switzerland at the source. The employer must withhold the tax due and pay it to the cantonal tax administration. Thus, employers will subtract a monthly tax levied at source (withholding tax) directly from the earned income of foreign employees and guest workers without a residency permit C.

In case your yearly gross income exceeds CHF 120’000, the tax levied at source will be reimbursed with your tax declaration. If your yearly gross income does not exceed CHF 120’000, Switzerland exempts you from filing a tax declaration.
