Capital gains when taxed at source

Hello everyone,

I am a B-permit holder who’s taxed at source. My understanding is that I will need to file my own tax return once my income reaches 120k. This year I will make approx. 110k; however, I’m currently considering selling some Swiss shares which will be valued at 14k (capital gain of approx. 9k).

Do you know if selling these shares will trigger the obligation to file my own tax return?

Many thanks!

Capital gains normally aren’t taxed at all

However depending on your total net worth and income from dividends you may be required to file a partial declaration (for ergänzende Veranlagung) already regardless of 120k salary threshold. ZH thresholds are 200k wealth or 2500 non taxed at source income
