Are you looking for a tax advisor in Baden who can also handle equity plans and a place of work in Zurich? Then you are in the right place.
Our tax specialists at Stadtturmstrasse 10 review your deductions, record variable salary components correctly and declare your property cleanly.
Baden is shaped by technology and industrial employers and at the same time sits inside Zurich's commuter belt. Together, those two things make a tax return more demanding than it looks.
We work independently and on a fee basis – in person in Baden's old town or entirely digitally.

Providing a few brief details will help us to optimally prepare your request.
tailor-made. comprehensive. for you. – that promise shapes our tax advice too. We start with your situation, not with the form. Three principles carry it:
In the Baden region, bonuses and employee equity are part of the salary statement at larger employers. What matters is when an entitlement accrues and how it is valued – we assign the components to the correct tax year.
You are taxed where you live – the commute takes effect through capped deductions. We calculate what is permissible and show what a move across the cantonal border would change in the overall picture.
Maintenance or added value? Where you draw that line decides what you can deduct today and what counts later for property gains tax. We document both correctly from the start.
Baden combines technology and industry with a lively trades sector and proximity to the Limmat Valley. Our tax advice is for everyone who wants to turn that into clarity – embedded in taxes, retirement provision and mortgages. Our second Aargau location is Aarau; you will find all our locations on Tax advice Switzerland.
Bonuses, shares and options appear on the salary statement – but not always where you expect them. We review the plan documents and declare the components in the right year, before the tax administration asks.
Baden is closer to Zurich than the cantonal border suggests. We apply travel costs and meals away from home correctly, and set out the full calculation of a change of residence.
Imputed rental value, mortgage interest and maintenance belong in the declaration every year – while the receipts for value-adding investments are only needed on a sale. We set the file up so that both work.
We separate private and business accounting, align salary and dividends, and structure your pension provision when no employer takes care of it.
We deal with these and many other questions every day. Is yours missing? Just fill in the form at the top of this page – we will get back to you.
You will find us at Stadtturmstrasse 10, 5400 Baden – in the old town and a few minutes' walk from Baden railway station. Appointments by video are possible too.
For a standard tax return we work with flat fees – currently from CHF 132.00 for a single person; you will find the remaining flat fees on our Taxes page. If equity plans or self-employment are involved, we name the range before we start. The initial consultation is free.
Yes. Employee equity has to be declared; the demanding part is the timing. As a rule what counts is when an entitlement accrues to you and how it is valued at that point – for blocked securities a special valuation applies. We look at your plan documents and your employer's certificate together.
With unlimited tax liability in Switzerland you are taxed where you live, so in the canton of Aargau and in your municipality. Your place of work in Zurich does not change that, but it does take effect through the deductions for travel costs and meals away from home, which are capped.
Value-preserving maintenance costs are in principle deductible, value-adding investments are not – but the latter can be credited later against property gains tax. Because many invoices contain both, splitting them before the declaration pays off rather than years later.
Yes. In the canton of Aargau we are there for you in Baden at Stadtturmstrasse 10 and in Aarau at Bahnhofstrasse 41. You are free to choose whichever location suits you better – the advice is the same.
