Tax return · Geneva 2026

Every year, you may be leaving money on the table

Most Geneva taxpayers overlook perfectly legal deductions, 3rd pillar, LPP buy-back, actual expenses. The result: a higher tax bill than necessary. We complete your return, optimising every item.

The most commonly forgotten deductions

3rd pillar (3a)

Up to CHF 7,258 deductible in 2026 for an employee, more for the self-employed. The simplest deduction, and the most frequently underused.

LPP buy-back

Fully deductible in the year of payment, particularly powerful for high incomes, with no fixed legal cap comparable to the 3a.

Actual professional expenses

Transport, meals, training: when they exceed the standard allowance, actual expenses can noticeably reduce your taxable income.

Premiums, interest & charges

Insurance premiums, interest on debts, childcare costs, maintenance payments, donations: all items not to overlook.

The virtuous circle in Geneva: as the Geneva scale is progressive and among the highest in Switzerland, every franc deducted through pension provision generates a significant tax saving. Optimising your return and structuring your 3rd pillar therefore go hand in hand.

Frequently asked questions

How much does preparing a tax return cost?

The price depends on the complexity of your situation (income, assets, status). We give you a clear quote before any work, with no obligation.

Can a cross-border worker deduct a Swiss 3rd pillar?

Yes, provided you contribute to the Swiss AVS, and combining it with quasi-resident status often lets you make the most of it. See our page dedicated to cross-border taxation.

When should I get started?

Ideally early in the year for the previous year's return, but above all before 31 December for the optimisation levers (3rd pillar, LPP buy-back) that must be paid within the calendar year.
