New tax return deadeline extension possible? where to ask for pending tax payments?

1st issue:
At the beginning of the year I applied for an extension of the deadline for my tax return at my gemeinde. They extended it to 30th November.
Due to irresponsibility on my part I don’t think my tax consultant will have my tax return ready by the 30th November.
Do you think my gemeinde would grant me an extension again?

2d issue:
In Switzerland we pay taxes at gemeinde, katon and federal level. If I want to be sure that I have no pending tax payments, should I contact each of these 3 entities separately, or is asking my kanton tax office enough to be sure that I have no pending taxes at any level?

Thanks

All you can do is ask. :slight_smile:

That’s enough.

Might be worth getting your tax consultant to ask for you.

do you mean that my tax consultant asks directly to my gemeinde tax office?
why do you think this might have higher chances to succeed?

Once I asked on the phone (Zurich) and they said “ok, just please do it before xmas”. Then they took years to look at it.

One time we had a delay from the building management to provide us with all the expenses for the apartment, capital account etc. so we asked for an extension at the gemeinde. But the building management delayed it again so we had to ask for a 2nd extension, and they said it’s fine. So Just ask the gemeinde again and get it done asap so you don’t have to worry about it.

Your tax consultant does not need to “beg” for you, you can do that yourself!! good luck!

I believe the canton does not look at your taxes until they get the info from the gemeinde first. So you only have to ask the gemeinde for the extension as far as I know.
