Let's say the letter arrive in a month.Will I have to pay some penalties for this 10k debt to the state? Can I prepay while I wait?
I submitted my tax return, it showed I owe 10k. I called the tax office and they told me "just wait till you receive our letter".
You pay when they send you the bill, NEVER before!

Personally I calculate the tax I owe and make my payments as I don't like being behind. So when I do the tax declaration if I see a gap, I fill it if I have the means to.
Prorated interests, something like 10k * 0.0025 * 1/12, for 1 month. Is it worth to bother?
When you receive the final bill, not paying it on time will incur much higher interest then 0.25%
From Jan 1st it's going to be 1% in ZH, no longer 0.25%.
If I recall it takes four of five months for the tax office to ask for the money, certainly in Vaud. So it won't be before April/May that you'll get asked for the remaining money to be paid.
