Typical topics
What often matters in Brütten.
Optimising pension savings: pillar 3a and buy-ins
On higher incomes, deductions are especially effective because they reduce income taxed at your marginal rate. Paying the maximum into pillar 3a and making a voluntary buy-in to your pension fund are the strongest levers. We check whether a buy-in is worthwhile and how to spread it over several years — and watch the blocking period before any lump-sum withdrawal.
Securities and withholding tax
If you hold a securities account, every position must be listed in the securities register. You only get back the 35 % Swiss withholding tax deducted from dividends and interest if everything is declared in full. Foreign withholding taxes can partly be reclaimed as well.
A family home in the countryside
Family homes define Brütten. Imputed rental value, mortgage interest and maintenance belong in every return; for larger renovations we separate deductible upkeep carefully from value-adding investments, which are not deductible.
Example
Example: dual earners with a portfolio and buy-in potential
A married couple without children lives in their own house in Brütten. Both work full time, pay the maximum into pillar 3a and hold a securities account with Swiss and foreign shares. His pension fund statement shows a buy-in gap.
We prepare the full securities register, reclaim the withholding tax and calculate how a pension fund buy-in spread over two tax years would affect their bill. The couple then decides for themselves whether and how much to pay in.
