Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / Price sheet of Swiss tax firm
German term or phrase: Fristerstreckung durch uns
Hi,

In this price sheet of a Swiss tax firm, it says under the heading "Unser Mehrwert für Sie":

Fristerstreckung durch uns: inklusive.

The tax firm offers semi-adjustable flatrates, with that particular service being included in the flatrate.

Is this "Filing deadlines: extensions obtained by us"?

Thanks,

Cheers,

Explanation:
Terrible punctuation with fragment.

To me, 'as a bonus' has the same communicative function as 'inklusive' in German - letting customers think they're getting something for free..

Explanation:
Unless there's something distinctively Swiss I'm missing, I don't think this connotes a "bonus". What it connotes is, if you hire us and we decide we want to file an extension, it will be on us. Otherwise, like say if you hit us with a bunch of new information about some overseas investments you forgot to mention til the day before the filing deadline, that will be on you.
