Withholding Tax

If you employ staff without a permanent C residence permit or cross-border commuters, you must deduct their taxes directly from their salary and settle them with the responsible canton. The rates depend on marital status, children, religious denomination and canton, and change regularly.

Finaro handles the complete withholding tax administration: from registration through monthly settlement to rate corrections. As the employer you are liable for correct payment — we make sure everything is right.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

In principle, foreign employees resident in Switzerland without a permanent C residence permit, as well as people without tax residence in Switzerland, such as cross-border commuters. We clarify the details for each individual.

From a certain gross annual salary, or on request, the tax is subsequently calculated as with an ordinary tax return. This can be worthwhile, for example with high deductions. We are happy to advise your employees on this.

The earlier this is corrected, the better. We reconcile the settlements with the tax office and set things up correctly going forward.
