Medical deductions vary from canton to canton, I only know the rules for Vaud.
Regarding the taxable period, however, I can confirm this will cover the whole fiscal year from January 1st. You will be able to indicate your at source retentions as “acomptes”.
You can deduct medical expenses at your charge in Geneva (even if foreign bills). You’ll simply have to convert from EUR to CHF using the rates here https://www.ge.ch/taux-donnees-fiscales. For income, annual average FX rate is used. It is widely accepted by the Geneva tax authorities.
Keep the medical bills/proof of payments. They can be requested by the tax authorities.
you’re right for donations. Keep the proofs of payment. Can be requested by the tax authorities
yes. accepted practice is to start with the purchase price and apply a 20% depreciation per year starting the 1st year. If you have a old car with a small residual value, I won’t report it
you’re right for IFD, both can be requested. For ICC, it is one of the other.
You can claim the frais effectifs if the commuting time from home to work > 30min one way by public transport.
hi @Guillaume_GVA thanks again for your input. I think I couldn’t have done it without your help!
I have read around here that the 200 per person for donations are an acceptable deduction “forfaitaire”. I don’t really give money to charities, only clothes really
In some canton, they won’t ask for receipt for some amount, it’s not the same as a deduction “forfaitaire”. (And depending on your ethics it is or isn’t ok to deduct that if you haven’t actually donated anything)
Depends on canton, you should follow your canton’s tax manual. ZH’s rule is to apply 40% depreciation per year from purchase price. You declare purchase price and year and 0.6**(years of ownership)*price as value. So, basically after 8-10 years of ownership the car would be almost entirely written off and that’s OK.
Anyone knows the rules for car depreciation in Vaud?
