Is it worth having someone fill it out for you, even for a simple tax return?

Yes, especially with tax returns that seem simple, the potential savings are often surprisingly high. Many taxpayers are unaware that even in a standard employment relationship, numerous deductions are possible: commuting expenses to work, meals away from home (flat-rate deduction), work clothing, union dues, continuing education costs, insurance premiums, Pillar 3a contributions, medical expenses exceeding the deductible, and much more. With our flat rate starting at CHF 35 for apprentices and students, the investment is, in most cases, a fraction of the tax savings you’ll realize. And even if the savings are modest in an individual case—you’ll still save hours of your free time and have the peace of mind that everything is filled out correctly.

What sets steuermacher.ch apart from a traditional fiduciary?

Three key points: First, the price—with a tax advisor, you typically pay between CHF 300 and over CHF 1,000 on an hourly basis, without knowing in advance what the final cost will be. At steuermacher.ch, you get a transparent fixed price starting at CHF 35 that includes all services. Second, accessibility: You don’t have to make an appointment at an office; instead, you can conveniently upload your documents online and receive advice by phone or video call. Third, the same quality: Our tax advisors are VBV-certified, we are FINMA-registered (No. 35704), and we have processed over 23,000 tax returns across all 26 cantons.

How secure is my data on steuermacher.ch?

Data security is our top priority. We are registered with FINMA (registration number 35704) and are subject to Switzerland’s strict data protection laws (DSG/nDSG). Specifically, this means that your documents are transmitted via an encrypted connection (SSL/TLS) and stored on servers in Switzerland. Access is restricted exclusively to your personal tax advisor. Your documents will not be shared with third parties—neither for advertising nor for any other purposes. Once processing is complete, your documents will be securely archived in accordance with the statutory retention periods.

Can I really save money by having someone fill out my tax return for me?

In the vast majority of cases, yes—and often significantly more than the flat fee. Our tax advisors systematically review over 50 possible deduction categories, which vary by canton. Experience shows that a professionally optimized tax return yields additional tax savings ranging from several hundred to over a thousand francs compared to a self-filed return, depending on one’s personal circumstances. The potential for savings is particularly high for families with children, property owners, commuters with long commutes, and individuals with continuing education expenses or high healthcare costs.

Is the consultation truly personalized, or do you use AI?

Your tax return is always processed by a real, VBV-certified tax advisor. No AI, no chatbot, no algorithm. You’ll be assigned a dedicated, named tax advisor who personally reviews and optimizes your documents. You can reach this expert by phone (direct line), via video call with screen sharing, or, if you prefer, in person at our office. If you have questions or would like to discuss something, you’ll always speak with your tax advisor—not a call center.

What happens if the tax office has questions?

This rarely happens given the thorough nature of our work, but it cannot be ruled out, especially in more complex tax situations. Should the tax office have any questions, we will provide you with full support at no additional charge. Your tax advisor is thoroughly familiar with your documents and can provide the tax office with well-founded and timely responses. In most cases, such inquiries can be resolved quickly without you having to deal with them yourself.

In which cantons are you available?

We operate throughout Switzerland in all 26 cantons. Whether in Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Basel, Aargau, Thurgau, Graubünden, Zug, Schwyz, or any other canton, our tax advisors have in-depth knowledge of cantonal tax laws, deductions, and specific provisions. This is important because the differences between the cantons are significant: different filing deadlines, different flat-rate deductions, different imputed rental value calculations, and different child deductions. With over 15 years of experience and more than 23,000 tax returns processed, we’re at home in every canton.

How long will it take to complete my tax return?

With our standard service, your tax return is usually ready within 7–14 business days after we receive all the necessary documents. If you need it done faster, we offer an express service: completion within 72 hours for an additional fee of CHF 100. And if you’re unable to meet the filing deadline, we’ll apply for an official extension from the tax office on your behalf—quickly and easily for just CHF 35.
