Elsau lies east of Winterthur on the railway towards Wil. With stations at both Räterschen and Schottikon, it is well placed for commuters to Winterthur and Zurich, and many young families have settled here.

Typical topics
What often matters in Elsau.
Commuting by S-Bahn
For commuters from Elsau the public-transport pass is usually the travel deduction. Extra costs for meals away from home and other work expenses can be added. We check your salary certificate to see whether a staff canteen or lunch vouchers limit the meal deduction.
Young families: children and childcare
If both parents work, costs for nursery, after-school care or a childminder are deductible up to the cantonal maximum. We collect the invoices, strip out subsidies and apply the child deductions correctly — including in the year of birth.
A higher rate than some neighbours
At 117%, Elsau’s municipal multiplier is higher than in some neighbouring municipalities. That makes deductions you can control yourself more valuable: pillar 3a contributions or a pension fund buy-in. We show you roughly what they would save at your income.
Example
Example: a young family in Räterschen
A couple in Räterschen had their second child during the tax year. Both work part-time, one in Winterthur and one in Zurich, and the older child attends nursery two days a week.
We declare both salaries, apply two child deductions, deduct the nursery costs net of subsidy and include both S-Bahn passes. As the paperwork was complete only late because of the birth, we requested a filing extension from the municipal tax office.
