The interest on a personal loan is tax-deductible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Swiss tax return, individuals can deduct all private interest paid during the year. This includes in particular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>interest on a consumer loan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>interest on credit cards with partial (instalment) payment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>interest on other private debts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This deduction directly reduces taxable income, which lowers the amount of tax due. Every year, the financial institution provides a certificate stating the interest paid, and MultiCredit helps ensure it is correctly included in the tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_debt_from_a_loan_is_deductible_from_taxable_wealth\"><\/span>2. The debt from a loan is deductible from taxable wealth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Switzerland, private debts reduce the taxable base for wealth tax. The outstanding balance of a personal loan is therefore considered a deductible liability, further easing the taxpayer\u2019s overall tax burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This advantage also applies to credit card debts when they generate interest (instalment payment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Credit_vs_leasing_two_completely_different_tax_treatments\"><\/span>3.
