Student tax return – what to keep in mind
Even if you are a student living in Switzerland, you may still be subject to taxes. For example, you may be taxed if you earn income during your studies, receive a scholarship, or own assets. What counts as taxable income is not always clear, and study or life circumstances often change, such as moving, getting a part-time job, spending a semester abroad, or taking a break from school.
Specific rules also raise questions: Can tuition fees be deducted? What happens if your weekly commuter status ends? How are scholarships or maintenance payments treated? The answers depend on your canton, income level, and personal situation.
That’s where we come in. We handle the tax details to help you save time and money so you can focus on your studies. Our fully online process is guided by experienced specialists and comes with a satisfaction guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
This section covers common student questions about tax returns – from when you need to file, to which deductions are possible, to the typical challenges that arise while studying.
Do students need to file a tax return?
Yes. In Switzerland, everyone over the age of 18 is taxable and usually has to file a tax return. Many cantons require a full declaration, even for those with low or no income. If you earn money from a part-time job, internship, freelance work, or investments, you definitely need to file a return.
Which deductions are available to students?
Depending on your situation, you may be able to deduct education expenses, commuting costs, insurance contributions, or Pillar 3a payments. We will check which deductions apply to you and ensure that cantonal rules are considered.
What happens if my income falls below the tax-free allowance?
Even if you have a very low income or your taxable income falls below the exemption threshold, you are generally still required to file a tax return. Many cantons levy a head or personal tax — for example, CHF 24 in Zurich. It may also be worthwhile to file a return to reclaim withholding taxes or claim deductions.
How is a scholarship treated for tax purposes?
Depending on the canton, scholarships are considered fully or partially taxable income. They must generally be declared on the tax return, and we will clarify the exact treatment on a case-by-case basis.
Which documents do I have to submit?
You will be asked to upload all relevant documents when placing your order. These typically include salary certificates, scholarship confirmation letters, bank statements, and insurance records. If anything is missing, we will contact you.
