Have Your Tax Return Filed: Prices Starting at CHF 35

No, absolutely not. The fixed price we quote you is the final price. No hourly surcharges, no processing fees, no material costs. The only potential additional cost is shipping via Priority Mail, if you prefer to have your order shipped by mail. Personal consultation by phone and video is included in the price, no matter how many questions you have. You don’t pay until the work is complete. That’s our promise.

Complete preparation of your tax return by a certified tax advisor: analysis of your tax situation, systematic review of all cantonal tax deductions, complete filling out of all forms and attachments, personalized consultation (in person at your location, by phone, or via video—as often as you’d like), filing with the tax office, and assistance with any inquiries from the tax authorities. In short: everything from A to Z.

Only once your tax return has been fully processed and approved by you. There are no advance payments, no down payments, and no reservation fees. This means you assume no financial risk. Invoice due within 14 days.

Because the amount of work involved varies considerably. A simple tax return for students with a wage statement is less complex than the tax assessment for a married couple with two incomes, children, Pillar 3a contributions, a condominium, and a securities account. Our pricing model reflects this fairly. You pay only for the level of complexity that your situation actually requires.

Yes, 100%. Every client has a personal tax advisor who knows them by name. You can reach this advisor at your location, at our office, by phone, or via video call as often as you’d like, at no extra charge. This is what fundamentally sets us apart from tax apps and online calculators. At steuermacher.ch, you always speak directly with your tax expert.

The same fair flat rates apply to late tax returns, per tax year. If you’d like to file your 2022, 2023, and 2024 tax returns as an individual, you’ll pay 3 times the individual flat rate. For multiple years, we’re happy to offer a package deal. Contact us—the sooner you act, the more accommodating the tax office will be.

Yes, at any time, as long as we have received all of your documents. The 72-hour period begins once we have all the documents. In most cases, however, the process is completed within 24 hours. The surcharge is CHF 100, regardless of the base package. Tip: First, check the filing deadline for your canton.

Your tax advisor will go over the results with you in detail and explain each item. Corrections and adjustments made before filing are included in the fixed price. Our goal: to ensure that you understand your tax return and are satisfied with the results before we file it with the tax office.

At steuermacher.ch, a simple tax return for apprentices and students starts at a flat rate of CHF 35. For working individuals, the price starts at CHF 99. By comparison, a traditional tax advisor typically charges CHF 300 to CHF 800 on an hourly basis for the same service. While tax software is less expensive, it does not offer personalized advice and only performs a superficial review of deductions.

Married couples and families pay a flat rate starting at CHF 149 at steuermacher.ch. This includes: joint assessment of both incomes, child deductions, third-party childcare costs, dual-income optimization, and all other family-specific deductions. If you own real estate or securities, we’ll provide you with a customized quote. The potential for optimization is particularly high for families; based on our experience, our tax advisors are able to maximize savings in these cases.

The base price depends on your personal circumstances (starting at CHF 35 / 99 / 149). The real estate supplement costs CHF 65 per property, including VAT. This includes listing the property, calculating renovation costs, and preparing the complete declaration. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.

For you as a client, a fixed price is almost always the better choice. Why? You know from the start what it will cost. There are no surprises on the bill. And your tax advisor has no incentive to artificially prolong the process. With an hourly rate (as is the case with most tax advisors), a simple follow-up question can quickly cost CHF 50–100. At steuermacher.ch, every consultation is included in the fixed price.

In most cantons, yes. The cost of having a professional fill out your tax return is considered an administrative expense and can be claimed as a business expense or under “Other Deductions.” This means that the fixed price charged by steuermacher.ch is effectively reduced even further because you can deduct it from your taxes the following year. Your tax advisor will point this out to you and automatically apply the deduction.

Once your tax return is complete, you will receive an invoice via email, payable within 14 days. We accept bank transfer (IBAN), TWINT, and credit card. There is no advance payment and no deposit required. You pay only after you are satisfied with the results and have approved your tax return.
