On the topic of deductions for child care: anyone know what restrictions there are on how this 25k can be used?

Concrete case i am interested in: child’s grandparent comes once per week to look after the child, allowing both parents to work that day.

Can the expenses incurred by the grandparent such as travel be tax deducted? (assuming they are covered by the parents)

If yes, what about food expenses for the grandparent?

What about if the grandparent is paid by the parents (say they are still working but they reduce their hours to come look after the baby)

Only professional, invoiced care (like Krippe or Hort in German) in connection with allowing parents to work (or study etc. I guess).

No grandparents, no food, expenses or toys :wink:

No way.

If I remember correctly this was also asked by a SRF Espresso listener. The answer from an tax expert was „no“.

And if the grandparent were to invoice their services to the parents via a payroll services provider (like Payroll Plus) - then they suddently become a professional service provider and it does become tax deductable?

I hope you are joking.

Not sure, really, given your posting history …

The other poster was asking about tax deductibility. Do you wonder if he/she was joking?

Please enlighten me on your point regarding my posting history.

Nothing wrong with tax optimization (not avoidance) while paying a lot of taxes.

Enjoy being judgmental and even projecting that 20 years forward. Let me guess, you’re one of those diversity champions who actually hates diversity beyond your worldview.

Have fun with your sense of moral superiority.

Accusing a person of self optimization when living in switzerland yourself - so funny.
