Are you looking for a tax advisor in St. Gallen who fits the stage of life you are in – a first tax return, a family business, or retirement? Then you are in the right place.
Our tax specialists at Kornhausstrasse 25 review your deductions, make sense of your pension provision, and calculate with your St. Gallen municipality of residence.
Eastern Switzerland lives on industry and family businesses, the university brings a steady stream of young professionals – and the border with Liechtenstein and Austria is closer than in any other region.
We work independently and on a fee basis – in person in central St. Gallen 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:
A first tax return raises different questions than handing over a business. We advise for the stage you are actually in – and say openly when a single conversation is enough.
In Eastern Switzerland wealth often sits inside the business itself. For salary and dividends, for investments and later for succession, private and business tax are directly connected – we calculate both sides.
Employment in Liechtenstein or Austria, residence in Eastern Switzerland: then withholding tax, pension provision and your declaration interlock differently. We show the interfaces and bring in specialists for the foreign side.
St. Gallen combines a long-standing industrial and trade landscape with an academic centre and proximity to the border. Our tax advice is for everyone who wants to turn that into clarity – embedded in taxes, retirement provision and mortgages. In Eastern Switzerland we are also there for you in Buchs SG; you will find all our locations on Tax advice Switzerland.
First tax return, first pension fund, first pillar 3a question: in a university town many people begin here. We show which deductions you can already claim and which decisions can wait.
A handover changes income, assets and pension provision at the same time. We look at private and business assets together and work with fiduciary and legal specialists – early enough for planning to still be possible.
Imputed rental value, mortgage interest, value-preserving maintenance, child and childcare deductions: we separate the items cleanly and document what will still count on a later sale.
Anyone who works in Liechtenstein or Austria and lives here has additional obligations and options. We set out what has to be declared in Switzerland – and say openly where our advice ends.
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 Kornhausstrasse 25, 9000 St. Gallen – centrally located and easy to reach from the station. Appointments by video are possible too, if that fits your day better.
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 a business or a succession is involved, we name the range before we start. The initial consultation is free.
Often a single conversation is enough – and it pays off. Your savings rate, pillar 3a and the correct declaration of training costs or a side income have an effect over years, yet are quickly clarified. We tell you openly if no engagement is needed at this point.
As early as possible, because after the handover most of the room for planning is gone. Among other things, the valuation of the business, the structure of the purchase price, your pension provision and the timing all matter. We look at this together with fiduciary and legal specialists.
Yes. We set out how your Swiss pension provision, your insurance and your declaration interact with employment abroad. For tax liability in the country of employment we bring in specialists – we say openly where our advice ends.
No. You can visit us at Kornhausstrasse or run the advisory process entirely by video – many people combine the two. We exchange documents digitally; in substance nothing differs.
