One lazy Sunday afternoon and the impending deadline of our Swiss tax return form to be filled. Two things that could have been the preamble to a rather dull few hours.
However, what promised to be a mind-numbing exercise turned out to be an interesting insight into the Swiss way of life (and its incredibly high standards). Fascinating.
Here's some of the questions that Fulfilled Husband and I found most peculiar:
1)“Dependant children: balance of his/her wealth as of Dec. 31st” (if only!)
2)“Cash value of the car(s), boat(s) and plane(s) you, your wife or dependant children own world-wide” (ditto)
3)“Real Estate – Equipment of the building: swimming pool outdoor/indoor and size (more or less than 25m?), tennis court”
4)“Real Estate – disturbances: rifle range (less than 1.5km away)”
5)“Real Estate – Location: bad location little sunshine, restricted view; good location sunshine view; view on Geneva lake”.
