Seeland Tax is the tax practice of Martin Seeland in Ermatingen, on Lake Constance in the canton of Thurgau. It works for private individuals in Switzerland whose tax affairs cross a border: people moving to Switzerland or back to Germany, cross-border commuters, employees of international employers, and people with ties to Germany, the US, the UK and other countries. Seeland Tax is a brand of Seeland Valoren, a sole proprietorship owned by Martin Seeland.
Martin Seeland is a German lawyer (Rechtsanwalt), admitted at the Rechtsanwaltskammer Stuttgart, with both German state law examinations. Before Seeland Tax he was a manager and authorised officer (Prokurist) in international tax at one of the largest audit firms. He is not a Swiss certified tax expert and does not hold the German title Steuerberater.
The core of the work is the Swiss tax return: the annual return, or the first one after a move to Switzerland. Seeland Tax also checks the withholding tax (Quellensteuer) deducted from your salary and corrects it where needed, including through the subsequent ordinary assessment (NOV). If you live in Switzerland and work in Germany, it looks at your tax status, your wage and home-office days; if you live in Germany and work in Switzerland, at cross-border commuter (Grenzgänger) status, weekly residence (Wochenaufenthalt) and home-office days. Other topics are moving back to Germany (the change of residence, ongoing income, assets that remain in Switzerland and Swiss pensions), withdrawals from the pension fund, vested benefits and pillar 3a, and returns with several income sources, real estate, securities, open tax years or earlier tax rulings.
Seeland Tax works with tax checklists for the cantons of Zurich and Thurgau; other cantons are possible by agreement. Meetings take place by phone, by video or in person in Ermatingen, and consultations are held in German, other languages on request. The first call takes 15 minutes and is free and non-binding; afterwards you receive a written offer with a flat fee. Seeland Tax does not prepare German tax returns, offer German legal services, represent clients in court, hold client assets or carry out business regulated by FINMA.
