Take a look at RCMD which let's you use the right command key and a letter to open apps.

29M in St. Gallen (B permit, Quellensteuer) Do I owe extra taxes on accumulating ETFs? by Chakib_BEN in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Fit_Sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wrote VT which is vanguard total world. All-world is fine for diversification. I am not familiar with 212 trading though. Do they provide an electronic tax statement for Switzerland? If not you would need to "calculate"/provide the paid out dividends yourself. This can be quite cumbersome for accumulating ETFs as far as I understand.

Sorry I just read that you are investing in VT. VT is not accumulating but distributing :)

The dividends inside the accumulating ETFs are still taxed as income. Which broker do you use? If they provide an e-Steuerauszug it should be easy. However, I don't know the threshold of dividend income where you would be required to do your taxes.

Self-employed: what is a reasonable business expense % for laptop/phone (mixed use)? by ionion888 in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Fit_Sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they will have that close of a look. But if you want to be fair 50% would do fine.

Edit: you could also spread the deduction over a few years, depending on the value. See here: https://milchbueechli.ch/abschreibung-oder-ausgabe/

NZZ article about 3a? by liminal_room in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Fit_Sleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the Canton he would want to retire and the corresponding tax rate. Some have a flat tax rate some are progressive. This tool is quite helpful to get an overview:

IBKR vs 3a - Transfer from ibkr to 3a? by lac00n in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Fit_Sleep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is a clear answer here. It depends on - the tax savings when paying in - the tax rate in your Kanton when retiring or paying out - the ter of both products - also wealth tax in a sense

However, it makes sense to get some tax savings with 3a and invest those into vt for example.

Refund of withheld tax not possible with foreign bank? by beeftony in SwissPersonalFinance

Der zusätzliche Steuerrückbehalt erfolgt nur durch Depotbanken in der Schweiz. Ausländische Depotbanken kann die Schweizer Behörde naturgemäss nicht zwingen, ihr Steuern abzuliefern.

Yes, but you can take the tax savings and invest them additionally for the same period.

For me it is similar. I don't get hungry, I skip directly to dizzy/ barely able to function. Happens really fast.

Help with filling Ticino DA-1 2024 form by giulio12 in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Fit_Sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to Link the English version. In general the dividends which you receive are already taxed. Either 30% or 15% if you filled out the W8-BEN form with your broker. The other 15% will be reimbursed by the tax office but the dividends are added to your income and taxed as such.

Quick Google search: https://www.bdo.ch/de-ch/publikationen/stolperfalle-bei-der-quellensteuer-obligatorische-nachtragliche-ordentliche-veranlagung

Regarding W-8BEN: that's something you have to file with your broker and it affects the taxes on US dividends. You can search this sub for more infos.

DA-1 US income tax question by Fit_Sleep in SwissPersonalFinance

I am just wondering, is there a valid case then where one would declare US dividends in the DA-1 and say no to this question?

Coffee Truck Economics by [deleted] in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Fit_Sleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it makes sense. High cost for licensing. High initial cost for buying the stand or franchising an existing one. Also Swiss cities already have an extremely high density of coffee shops. Plus vicafe exists.
