If you are an Expat you may be “Taxed at the Source.” If you own a real estate in Switzerland you will be subject to the regular Swiss tax declaration.

Ordinary Tax Return
Swiss Passport and C-Permit holders will have to file an ordinary tax return.
Supplementary Tax Return
All other Expats may be subject to a supplementary tax return. Essentially the same as the ordinary tax return but supplementary to withholding tax.
Source Tax Reassessment
If you are not eligible to file a supplementary return you still may reclaim some of your withholding tax paid through a source tax reassessment.
