Tax Return Lucerne – How much tax will I pay?

What makes canton Lucerne different
Tax multiplier range from 90 to 240 percent
Between the cheapest municipality, Meggen (90 percent), and the most expensive, Luthern (240 percent), lies almost a factor of three. Hardly any other canton has such a wide range.
Forms come centrally from the cantonal tax office
Unlike in some other cantons, Lucerne's cantonal Dienststelle Steuern sends out the paperwork centrally each February — regardless of your municipality.
Withholding tax and subsequent ordinary assessment
Many expats in Lucerne pay withholding tax (Quellensteuer) and don't realise a subsequent ordinary assessment is often worth requesting — for instance with pillar 3a contributions, further-education costs or property ownership. We calculate upfront whether filing that request pays off for you.
