Hi there,

Tax laws in Switzerland vary between cantons and municipalities. However, private school fees generally are not tax deductible in Switzerland. Part of the cost, such as the cost of child care or meals, may be deductible in some cantons.

Consider asking your local tax office or a local tax advisor what deductions apply in your municipality.
