Common questions
- When will a tax office in Ticino let you pay your taxes in instalments?
- If paying on time would cause you considerable hardship, the collecting authority may extend the due date or allow instalments; it may waive interest for that time and ask for security (Art. 166 DFTA). Similar rules apply to cantonal taxes, in Ticino Art. 245 LT, worded the same. If you miss an instalment, the arrangement is revoked (Art. 166 para. 3 DFTA). In Ticino the federal direct tax is collected by the Ufficio esazione e condoni of the Divisione delle contribuzioni.
- Which office receives a request to pay taxes in instalments in Ticino?
- The office that issued the tax invoice; its name and address are on the invoice. If the cantonal invoice and the federal direct tax invoice come from two offices, send a request to each. In Ticino the Municipio decides payment facilities for communal taxes (Art. 298 LT), so it gets a request of its own. Send it before the due date: the request does not suspend the duty to pay unless the authority decides otherwise (Art. 246 para. 4 LT), interest runs on what is unpaid, and the authority may start debt enforcement.
- What separates instalments, tax remission and an objection in Switzerland?
- With payment facilities the whole tax stays owed; you only pay it later or in instalments. Remission cancels the tax in whole or part for a taxpayer in need for whom paying would mean great hardship (Art. 167 DFTA; in Ticino Art. 246 LT, which allows one request per tax period); it needs its own reasoned and documented request and stricter conditions. An objection is different again: it contests the assessment itself, within 30 days of notification.
