Questions about taxes in Geneva?
We're here with the answers you need.
Here's what people often want to know before getting started with FIN in Geneva.
Do I have to declare foreign income/assets in my Geneva tax return?
Yes. If you are domiciled in Switzerland, you must declare global income and assets — including foreign accounts, property and dividends.
When is the tax return deadline in Geneva?
Your Geneva tax return must be submitted by March 31st following the tax year. You can request an extension online via the Geneva Administration fiscale cantonale.
When is filing required in Geneva?
Earning more than CHF 120,000/year always requires filing. Lower income may still require or benefit from filing due to assets, securities or properties.
Do I have to file a tax return in the Canton of Geneva with a B permit?
Thresholds in Geneva for a B permit: Gross annual income CHF 120,000 / Additional non-withholding income from CHF 3,000. Assets are assessed individually by the tax office.
What if I pay tax at the source in Geneva?
If you earn over CHF 120,000/year, you must also file a tax return. Below that, you may still benefit from a refund via the subsequent ordinary assessment (NOV) process to claim deductions such as pillar 3a.
I work for an international organisation — do I need to file?
It depends on your status and the organisation. Many international employees in Geneva have special tax arrangements. FIN can clarify your specific obligations.
I am a cross-border commuter France/Geneva — what do I need to know?
Cross-border commuters between Geneva and France are subject to specific tax rules and the double taxation agreement. FIN guides you through all formalities.
Missed your tax return deadline in Geneva?
We help with extensions — book our express service if needed. Without an extension, you may face fines or estimated assessments.

Each holder must declare their share (typically 50/50) correctly in their own return — both for capital balances and for income earned.
Are gifts and inheritance taxable in Geneva?
