Art. 52 LIA

The cantonal office for withholding tax reviews the requests submitted to it, establishes the facts, and takes all necessary measures to accurately determine the entitlement to a refund.

After concluding its investigation, the cantonal office for withholding tax issues a decision regarding the right to a refund; the refund decision may be linked to the tax assessment decision.

If the cantonal office for withholding tax rejects the request in whole or in part, it must briefly justify its decision.

The refund granted by the cantonal office for withholding tax is subject to a subsequent review of the entitlement to a refund by the Federal Tax Administration (FTA), in accordance with art. 57.
