"Déclaration d’impôt cantonal et barèmes cantonaux" in Benken: the key principles

On the topic of "Déclaration d’impôt cantonal et barèmes cantonaux", the same legal foundations apply in Benken as in the rest of Switzerland — what counts is how they apply to your specific situation: housing (renting or owning), employment status, household size, vehicles and any cross-border income. Distinguish legal obligations from purely contractual options: not every cover on offer makes sense in your case.

A tried-and-tested approach: first take stock of your existing policies and deadlines, then identify cover gaps and double insurance, and finally compare offers with concrete figures. Deductibles, benefit ceilings and exclusions decide more in a real claim than the premium difference. For tax questions in the canton of St. Gallen, the cantonal forms and information sheets are the binding reference.
