Electronic Tax Statement (Switzerland)

BPS (SUISSE) provides you with the Tax Statement in electronic format to help you fill in your tax returns and in compliance with the standards required by the competent authorities.

What’s new about this tax statement is that it is generated in electronic format with a barcode so you can submit your tax return electronically (eTax).

The electronic tax statement contains the following bank data required for the tax return:

• securities and other assets (e.g. accounts)
• income with and without withholding tax
• income subject to federal and cantonal taxes
• debts and interest owed
• expenses.

The electronic submission of tax returns allows you to:

• save time by having a clear overview of the all data relevant to the tax return
• avoid input errors by automatically updating your tax data
• save paper since you don’t have to send a physical copy of your tax return to the relevant authorities.
