As a taxpayer in Switzerland, you receive a tax assessment notice from the tax authority every year after filing your tax return.
This notice represents the official calculation of your tax liability, which specifies exactly which deductions from the tax return are accepted and which are not.
It is important to carefully review this tax assessment, as tax authorities may misinterpret your situation, potentially resulting in many deductions not being approved.
Especially in cases of intercantonal or international tax allocations, it may happen that insufficient information or documentation was submitted when filing the tax return, leading the tax office to disallow certain deductions.
It is possible that certain deductions you are entitled to are overlooked or not correctly taken into account. These include, for example, professional expenses, medical costs, education expenses, or childcare deductions.
This could result in you suddenly paying significantly more taxes.
In many cases, such issues can be resolved, provided they are first correctly identified and an objection is lodged with the tax office.
With our many years of experience in Swiss tax law, we can quickly identify potential errors and, if desired, assert them on your behalf.
Since only 30 days are available after receiving the tax assessment notice to file an objection, it is essential to act quickly.
If errors are not detected in time, your right to contest the tax assessment will lapse.
If you are running out of time, you can also request an express review from us.
This service is available in all cantons, although we must charge an additional fee for French- and Italian-speaking cantons.
Objection bookable retroactively: Since it is not possible to know in advance whether an objection would be possible or beneficial, this option can be booked retroactively.
If we find during the review that an objection can be made or would be advantageous for you, we will inform you.
You can then decide whether you want to file the objection yourself or have us prepare it for you (CHF 100 fee).
Generally, the review is completed within 5-7 days.
If you are running short on time and only have a few days left in the objection period, you can request our express review.
In that case, the review will be completed within 1-3 business days.
