Zurich Cryptocurrency Asset Listing

Finance, Taxes, Banking, Insurance and Retirement

Hi all,

I'm doing my taxes for this year in the canton of Zurich, and I have two questions, if you'd be so kind as to help

On the online form, you're requested to list all of your assets. I've been told by experienced Swiss friends that this includes: All bank accounts and moneys Cryptocurrency assets Shares

Quesiton 1:

Is this correct? My understanding is that these are used to calculate a Wealth Tax if you have over 100k CHF in total wealth.

Question 2:

When I input a cryptocurrency, lets say Ethereum, the form has a default per piece value that is 3x the value that the currency had on the 31.12.2022. I cannot change this value. What do people do here? Is this correct? The portal is hugely overstating my wealth by doing this

Much appreciated

As to 1: Yes, also any real estate, any wealth generally.

As to 2: the rate is fixed by the tax authorities per that date. No idea how this can differ that much but ask your tax office? Or check the website with the year end rates from the tax office in your Kanton.
