ICTax values incorrect?

Taxes

Happy new year everyone,

I am pretty much all in on VT (US9220427424). An incorrect valuation would have a non-negligable impact on my wealth taxes, I just checked the EOY value on ICTax and I believe it about 2% too high.

The value on ICTax (VT) for 31.12.2022 is CHF 81.76.

Even by my most generous calculations the EOY value should be no more than CHF 80.-
0.926 * 86.22 = 79.84

Have I miscalculated or is ESTV scamming us?

Also cryptocurrencies (e.g. ETH & BTC) with 24/7 volatile marktets have the 30.12.2022 value for the 31.12.2022.
Do they seriously not calculate the correct value just because the last day of the year was a sunday?

Should I just bend over and take it or do we wage war? (probably something inbetween right?)

2022 have finished yesterday, I have no idea how would they already calculate VT value and put it into the database. It might be some template value. I guess it will be corrected in a couple of weeks. Another possibility is that they used EURCHF instead of USDCHF to calculate the value, but that would be really stupid.

Yes, it seems incorrect. Maybe it will be corrected later.
You can always reach out to them to ask and correct the amount

c’mon, give them a break, you check ICTax on the 1st, and the 1st was a Sunday, and as you know no-one is allowed to work on Sunday.

I have now recieved my tax return and the EOY value of VT has not been changed. Where / Who do I contact to get this fixed. (I don’t speak the local language)

Ok, so you want to make all this effort for
2% too high value on let’s say 1 Mio CHF, giving 20k CHF, which is then taxed at let’s say 0.15%, so 30 CHF.

I’d have better use of my time.

You can use this form: Contact the FTA (mention that it’s about ICTax).

Marginal wealth tax rate e.g. in Zurich is 0.33% for a taxable net worth of CHF 1 million.

I hade a typo and fixed it, I meant 0.15%. My calculations were still correct. With 0.33% it would be 66 CHF.

They corrected the value today to CHF 79.78.

I sent them an email yesterday evening. They updated the tax value today
