Our verdict on Dr. Tax Privat
Dr. Tax Privat is desktop tax software for individuals filing Swiss tax returns. It is designed for employees, retirees, property owners and self-employed taxpayers, with a complete form set for natural persons and self-employed people. The software runs on Windows and macOS and covers forms for all 26 cantons. Its scope also includes investment income, rental income and self-employment needs, making it suitable for personal returns that go beyond a straightforward employee filing.
The published plan structure is simple: Dr. Tax Privat costs CHF 39.90 as a one-time purchase, including 8.1% VAT. The plan includes tax calculation and deduction support, automatic calculation of transfers and totals, securities valuation using official tax rates, Swiss-wide tax calculations and simulations, and intercantonal tax allocation. The product page also describes electronic filing for listed Swiss cantons. Prior-year data transfer and PDF saving and archiving can reduce repeated entry and help retain completed returns. The FAQ states that Dr. Tax Privat is limited to two returns, an important consideration for households or users preparing returns for others.
Dr. Tax Privat fits taxpayers who want a locally installed Swiss solution with broad canton coverage and support for self-employed, property and securities-related information. It also connects with Ringler’s E-Dossier and Snap.Share products, while support is available through email, phone and documentation. The desktop-only deployment is less suitable for people who expect browser access or a free starting option. Choose it when one-time pricing, Windows or macOS support, detailed Swiss calculations and electronic filing for listed cantons matter most; consider another product if web access or more than two returns is central to the buying decision.
