I was hoping if there is a place where I can pay hourly rate to someone in exchange for a quick guide.
It should not take 30 minutes.
I tried to find someone in superprof. but there is no one providing such service.
Hello, I am trying to fill my tax forum and I'm about done 80% but still would like to know a couple of things before I file it.
Had to do the same earlier this year.
For something as common as this I was surprised how difficult it was.
Found some directory sites and started emailing to the ones that were ok with English and requested to have a quote.
Many offer their service with only with a specific amount of minimum hours.
Some will offer their service at 500chf/h.
In the end found someone who was able to help with tax related questions and tax filing for very cheap. He did full taxes for two years for few hundred.
So good luck, you will probably too find some help this way.
Some sites that I used to find tax services:
• Local.ch/fiduciaire?slot=yellow)
• ITdir
Or contact your local cantonal tax office who’ll probably be more than happy to help you fill it in for free. Fribourg canton used to run several evenings in February/March where people could come and ask questions if they needed to at various locations around the canton.
I was also going to say ask your tax office.
And worse case scenario if in doubt , just do everything to your advantage and the tax office will correct it if they think different.
There is no penalties for this unless you are trying to commit tax fraud, then they will not be amused.
This is the Vaud tax office site: https://www.vd.ch/themes/etat-droit-...les-individus/
See the notice regarding a ‘free’ extension of the deadline,
At the page bottom see contact phone numbers, including Skype video.
I find the people really helpful and interested in finding solutions for you.
Just search in Google for English speaking tax advisors and you can find many with good hourly rates
Unless your income/wealth situation is simple, filing Swiss taxes can be a nightmare. There are so many special regulations and deductions.
For years I used Vaud tax advisors but in general they were pretty average and were getting more and more expensive.
In desperation I turned to the folks at taxbutler.ch who are a breath of fresh air. Everything is done online, they are reasonably priced, they care and they know what they are doing. They also have experience with double taxation issues.
Highly recommended.
Do you have any personal connection with them? Coming back after 12 years to post this in a year old thread.
12 years? More like less than 12 month.
Can‘t help OP as taxes are done different in Baselbiet or any other Kanton.
The last time darb posted, who resurrected this thread, was in 2011....
I did write the thread was a year old.
Pro Senectute is good if you are over 60 years.
Or quite the opposite.
Unless your tax situation is complex (multiple businesses, foreign real estate etc.), it is pretty simple to do it yourself, using online tax tools (which prepopulate all the defaults and come with guides).
@roegner - Indeed sounds like a weak sales pitch.
