Regulatory Framework & Deadlines • Cantonal Tax Returns & Quasi-Resident Status

In Switzerland, taxation operates across three tiers: Direct Federal Tax (IFD) and Cantonal/Communal taxes (ICC). For cross-border commuters in Geneva, quasi-resident status via Subsequent Ordinary Assessment (TOU) allows taxation under standard ordinary rates, enabling full deduction of actual expenses (commuting, meals, family allowances, child care, and loan interest).

Geneva TOU Deadline (Strict Preclusion): Mandatory submission before March 31 of year N+1 without any extension possible (LIPM/LHID).
Ordinary Resident Returns: Due March 31 with official deadline extension available (up to June 30 or September 30).
