Reliable tax return preparation in Switzerland

We prepare tax returns for individuals and businesses in Switzerland with care and on time. We take full responsibility for filing your tax return, reviewing your tax assessment, and checking the decisions issued by the tax authorities. If required, we represent you before the Swiss tax authorities and handle all communication on your behalf.

We prepare your annual tax return for income and wealth tax and advise you on making optimal use of possible deductions, such as professional expenses, continuing education costs, children in education, contributions to pillar 3a, pension fund buy-ins, and medical and accident-related expenses. We also provide expert support if you have income or assets abroad.

When selling real estate, we prepare the tax return for real estate capital gains tax. We also advise you on inheritance and gift tax matters in Switzerland and abroad. In most Swiss cantons, direct descendants are exempt from inheritance and gift tax.

Capital withdrawals from pillar 3a or from a pension fund are taxed separately. We advise you on the taxation of lump-sum benefits, severance payments, and possible tax relief when giving up employment, particularly from the age of 55.

We provide comprehensive advice on withholding tax matters, including subsequent ordinary taxation and special cases involving international tax issues. We also assist you in reclaiming Swiss withholding tax on interest and investment income.

For businesses, we prepare tax returns for limited liability companies (GmbH), public limited companies (AG), cooperatives, and other legal entities. These are subject to corporate income tax and capital tax. Upon request, we also take care of VAT returns.
