Warum 1'200 CHF mehr?

Im Detail

Hintergrund, Fakten und Quellen.

FINMA-Registered · English Language Support · AI Assistant · Direct e-Filing

Switzerland's tax system is complex — 26 cantons, each with different rates, deductions, and deadlines. Avenzo is one of the few FINMA-registered digital platforms that handles all 26 cantons in a single app, fully available in English. Whether you hold a C permit filing your annual return or a B permit navigating withholding tax (Quellensteuer), Avenzo guides you step by step. The app covers every Swiss tax scenario: employees, expats with RSUs, property owners with imputed rental value (Eigenmietwert), self-employed professionals, and retirees with pension fund withdrawals. All tax data is stored exclusively on Swiss servers under AES-256 encryption and subject to FINMA supervision.

How Avenzo Works

Step 1 — Import your documents

Scan your salary certificate (Lohnausweis), bank statements, pension fund documents, and receipts using the built-in OCR scanner. Avenzo automatically reads the key figures and maps them to the correct tax fields. If you used Avenzo last year, import all prior-year data with a single tap.

Supported documents:

  • Salary certificate (Lohnausweis — Form 11)
  • Securities list (Wertschriftenverzeichnis — dividends, interest)
  • Mortgage statements (interest and maintenance costs)
  • Pillar 3a certificates
  • Health insurance premium statements
  • Donation receipts

Step 2 — Maximize your deductions

The Avenzo AI assistant analyzes your personal situation and surfaces every deduction you are entitled to — including canton-specific limits that vary across all 26 cantons.

Common deductions the AI finds:

  • Commuting costs (CHF 0.70/km by car or actual public transport cost)
  • Meals outside the home (up to CHF 3200/year)
  • Professional training and further education (up to CHF 12000)
  • Pillar 3a contributions (up to CHF 7258/year for employees — fully deductible)
  • Health insurance premiums (lump sum approximately CHF 2800 for singles)
  • Childcare costs (up to CHF 25500 per child per year)
  • Withholding tax optimization for B permit holders

Step 3 — File electronically

Submit your completed return directly to the cantonal tax authority via e-filing. Avenzo is connected to the e-filing interfaces of all cantons that support digital submission. For cantons without an e-filing portal, Avenzo generates the correct PDF form for paper submission.

Cantons with direct e-filing: Zurich, Bern, Aargau, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Zug, Basel-Stadt and more.

Who Uses Avenzo?

Employees (C permit)

Scan your Lohnausweis, review AI-suggested deductions, and submit. Most standard situations are completed in 15–25 minutes.

Expats and B permit holders

Avenzo handles the complexity of withholding tax (Quellensteuer), mandatory ordinary assessment (NOV) for incomes above CHF 120000, RSU declarations, and double taxation treaty positions. The app and support are fully in English.

→ Expat tax guide

Property owners

Imputed rental value (Eigenmietwert), mortgage interest deductions, and property maintenance costs are calculated automatically. Avenzo knows the cantonal rules for all 26 cantons.

Freelancers and self-employed

AHV contributions, VAT, and business expenses — Avenzo handles the deductions unique to self-employment. For complex situations, our fiduciary service takes over entirely.
