March

Submit your tax return

In many cantons, you have to submit your tax return by the end of February, mid-March or in April. It’s best to do this straight away and take advantage of all deductions. Or extend the deadline free of charge.

April

Get more out of pillar 3a

How do you set up pillar 3a? Because you can avoid common mistakes and choose a good provider, you may still have thousands of francs to invest.

September

Check supplementary insurance

For supplementary health insurance policies, there is a 3-month notice period to the end of the year. And you must have switched by the end of September. So, are your premiums and benefits still right?

october

Check car insurance

You can always cancel your vehicle insurance with 3 months’ notice to the end of the contract year. With TCS, Vaudoise and Generali, this is always December 31. So now is a good time to check your cover and premiums.

november

Check change of basic insurance

November 30 is an important financial deadline for 2025. This is because you can change your basic insurance by then and save money quickly while keeping the same benefits.

December

Make buy-ins or voluntary contributions to the pension fund

Your purchase amount must be received by the pension fund by the end of the year so that you can still use it as a tax deduction. Or choose a higher savings option for the following year.
