Prices

  • Free quote: We review your documents first, and make you a fixed-price proposal (based on our cost estimate).
  • Our hourly rate is CHF 100*. Comparable providers use significantly higher rates.
    (for more details see «Procedure»)

Caution: In the market for tax returns, there are many bargain offers at very low prices or with “free consultation”. With these providers, your taxes are usually irrelevant. Instead, the objective is to palm you off on to various insurances (health insurance, life insurance, pillar 3a, etc.).

Tax consulting services

FAQ

1. Do you actually offer a fixed price for a tax return? Usually, it is charged based on the time spent.

Yes, we actually offer a fixed price for tax declarations. Due to years of experience, and after careful study of the documents received, we can normally estimate the required time for filing your tax return properly, and can therefore make you a fair fixed-price proposal.

You receive transparency, security and a high-quality service from us.

2. How should I understand the three price examples (further up on the website)?

The prices listed above are examples that show what the filing of a tax return by us can cost, depending on income, assets and family circumstances.

The actual costs depend on your specific situation. The actual costs can be found in our proposal.

3. Are you specialized only in expats?

We specialize in all foreigners living in Switzerland. Most of our clients have residence permit B (so, they are taxed at source/pay the withholding tax).

But of course, we also gladly support all other taxpayers, who seek assistance in preparing their tax return.

4. I do not know if I have to file the tax declaration in Switzerland. Can you help me?

Yes, you are right to choose our company. We can gladly carry out necessary clarifications for you. However, we would like to point out that this clarification is for a fee, and that unfortunately, we cannot do it as a complimentary service.

Just fill out the short form above, and leave us a comment or your question. One of our specialists will contact you as soon as possible.

5. Is the delivery of documents by post possible?

Unfortunately, the receipt of documents in physical form is not possible. We rely on a completely digitalized concept. That is one of the reasons that we can offer you a quality service at an attractive hourly rate of CHF 100.

6. Is a personal meeting possible?

Our concept does not provide for personal meetings. From our experience, they are not necessary. This is primarily for the reason that we want to offer you a quality service at an attractive hourly rate.

In the case of complicated tax situations, which require support and advice, a personal meeting in Zurich can be arranged. However, this not a part of the fixed-price proposal and it will be charged separately for the effective time spent, at the hourly rate of CHF 250 excl. Swiss VAT.

7. How long does it take to file a tax return?

You can expect an average processing time of 5 business days, although this period may vary depending on the duration of your response time (in case of further inquiries), the complexity of the case, and the workload of our tax experts. Therefore, we cannot guarantee specific deadlines. In urgent cases, it is possible to complete the tax return more quickly – please let us know if it is very urgent. We have also been able to complete tax returns on the same day. Our Google reviews also attest to our very short processing time compared to other providers.

8. My submission deadline is approaching soon and I'm afraid I will miss the deadline.

No problem. We will be able to meet your desired deadline. In case we are unable to meet it, we will request an extension on your behalf. This will have no negative consequences for you.

9. Is there a discount available for returning customers?

Yes, if your declaration was prepared by our company last year, you will receive a 10% discount when returning to us for this service.

10. Can I request a review of last year’s submitted declaration?

Yes, our tax team provides this service, which includes reviewing and verifying the final tax assessment, along with recommendations for optimal communication with the tax office. If necessary, we can also draft a letter on your behalf.

11. Can I partially complete the declaration myself and then send it to you to finish?

Yes, this is possible, but it is not recommended. The price for such a service remains standard because we will still need to verify the sections you completed, which may take as much time as starting from scratch.
