Hello everyone, I need some information about taxes in Switzerland, specifically in the canton of Neuchâtel.
I’m a European citizen residing in Switzerland (in Neuchâtel) with a B residence permit. I work as an employee, and my taxes are withheld at the source by my employer. Besides my salary, I have money invested in two ETF portfolios and a few individual stocks.
Do I still need to file a tax return even though I’m already taxed at the source for my job? Is there an investment threshold below which I’m not required to file a declaration?
I know, for example, that in Zurich there’s a minimum of 80,000 CHF in investments, if I’m not mistaken, but I’m not sure how it works in Neuchâtel. A fiduciary told me that I don’t need to declare anything because I have a B permit and earn less than 120,000 CHF per year, but that seems a bit strange to me.
Thank you very much in advance, everyone!
A tax return is also mandatory if you have a taxable wealth (50 KCHF threshold in Neuchâtel for a single person) or income not subject to the Swiss tax at source (i.e. interest and dividends).
For the latter, the annual threshold seems to be CHF 3’000 per year.
I would recommend you to get in touch directly with the Neuchâtel tax authorities. They would be more useful that your self proclaimed tax advisor
