from CHF 59
Tax return for individuals in Winterthur
If you are employed, live in Winterthur or elsewhere in the Canton of Zurich and do not own property, your tax return with us starts at CHF 59. You send us your salary certificate (Lohnausweis) plus your bank and insurance statements — we fill in the return, check every deduction you are entitled to and file it electronically via ZHprivateTax, the canton's online filing portal.
As a rule, your completed tax return is back with you for review within three working days. It only goes to the tax office once you have approved it.
Who this service is for
- Employees with one or more salary certificates
- Students, apprentices and anyone in training
- People with a side income, meeting fees or board-of-directors fees
- Anyone who has done their own return so far and wants to be sure nothing was missed
What we actually do
Every deduction checked
Work-related expenses, commuting costs, meals away from home, further training, Pillar 3a (the tax-privileged private pension), insurance premiums, medical costs, donations — we work through the list systematically rather than simply copying figures across.
Including the securities register
Accounts, custody accounts and the reclaim of Swiss withholding tax declared properly — we recover the withholding tax for you.
Electronic filing
We file via ZHprivateTax, the Canton of Zurich's online portal. You receive the complete tax return as a PDF for your records.
Assessment check
On request, we check your tax assessment notice as soon as it arrives — any differences from what was declared stand out immediately.
Example: single employee in Winterthur
An employee with one salary certificate, a savings account, a Pillar 3a account and a public transport pass brings five documents. The work takes around 30 minutes — a case like this sits at the starting price of CHF 59 for completing, checking and filing.
If the Pillar 3a contribution of CHF 7,258 were forgotten in this case, with an overall tax burden of around 20 per cent roughly CHF 1,450 in overpaid tax would be left on the table — many times our fee.
The documents we need
The more complete your documents, the faster it goes — and the lower your tax bill tends to be in the end. If anything is missing, we get back to you with a specific list.
- Copy of your last tax return and your last tax assessment notice
- All salary certificates (main and secondary employment, meeting fees, board-of-directors fees)
- Bank statements and interest certificates as at 31 December
- Pillar 3a certificate
- Health insurance premium certificate and receipts for your deductible and co-payments
- Receipts for further training, donations and work-related expenses
FAQ: Individuals
How long does it take?
Once all your documents are complete, you will usually receive your finished tax return for review within three working days. In the peak season of February and March it can take a few days longer.
What if documents are missing?
We get in touch by phone or email and tell you exactly what is still missing. If something cannot be obtained in time, we request a filing extension so that you do not receive a reminder.
Do I have to come in person?
No. You can submit everything online or send it by post. An appointment at Archplatz 2 in Winterthur is possible if you prefer to talk things through face to face.
Is CHF 59 a fixed price?
No, it is a starting price — every tax return is individual. It applies to a simple return without property and without self-employment. If anything out of the ordinary comes up — several custody accounts, an inheritance, home ownership — we tell you the extra cost beforehand, not afterwards.
