What Dr. Tax Privat is
Dr. Tax Privat is paid Swiss tax-return software for individuals, including employees, retirees, property owners, self-employed people, and farmers. Its forms cover individuals across all 26 cantons. The software calculates totals and transfers, identifies deductions at statutory maximum rates, flags missing information, and shows current tax liability as entries are made. It can simulate tax changes involving income, family circumstances, or residence anywhere in Switzerland. Electronic filing is available in the listed cantons, including Bern, Geneva, Ticino, Valais, and Zurich. Address and form data can be carried forward from the previous year's return, while securities can be revalued using the federal price list. Connections are described for Dr. Tax E-Dossier and the Snap.Share receipt app. Dr. Tax Privat runs on Windows and macOS and costs 39.90 CHF a month for two tax returns. Additional licenses can be added, and one user may install it on another independent computer.
