Information about filing the 2024 tax return and extending the deadline in the Canton of Schwyz.

As every year, at the beginning of 2025 all taxable persons in the Canton of Schwyz receive a request to submit the tax return for the 2024 tax year. Not everyone manages to file on time. It is therefore possible to request an extension.

Responsibility in the Canton of Schwyz

Which deadlines apply?

  • Ordinary filing deadline: 31 March 2025
  • Maximum extension: 31 December 2025

If you need more time, you must request an extension before the ordinary deadline expires.

How to request an extension

The extension can be requested through the tax administration’s online service; the source text also mentions written or telephone applications.

What happens if the deadline is missed?

Without timely filing or an approved extension, a reminder may follow. If there is still no response, the tax administration may issue an assessment at its discretion.

Why an extension can be useful
