The process begins once the required documents, such as dividend statements, tax refund forms, and a certificate of tax residence (if applicable), are submitted to the Swiss Tax Authority.
Based on the latest information provided by the Swiss Tax Authority, the typical processing time for a refund is 7 to 12 months from the date they receive the complete set of documents.
The most recently confirmed maximum processing time is 12 months. The above information is subject to change, but this is the latest guidance we have received.
