One securities position corresponds to one separately declared security. With an importable e-tax statement, no additional fees apply per position contained in it.
The property surcharge covers the imputed rental value, tax value, mortgage and flat-rate maintenance. The mortgage included is not charged again as a debt item. Any tax allocations between cantons or countries are charged separately according to effort.
The CHF 20.00 per tenancy is a surcharge, not a total price for declaring the property. For properties that are exclusively let, please send an individual request.
For childcare costs, the receipt limit applies per child: CHF 10.00 for up to three receipts, then CHF 2.00 for each further receipt of that child. Included receipts cannot be offset between several children.
