Return

In March of each year, citizens subject to taxation receive the forms and instructions for completing their tax return at home.

It is possible to complete the tax return using the forms received by mail or online through the eTax software (electronic declaration).

The tax return must be completed and submitted by 30 April, or an extension can be requested from the Ufficio di tassazione cantonale (Cantonal Tax Office).

Electronic declaration eTax

eTax is a software that facilitates the completion of tax return forms through a digital wizard. An updated version of eTax can be downloaded online each year.

To ensure accessibility for all computer users, the program is available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems (with or without Java VM).

Individuals

Thanks to an always up-to-date version of eTax, taxpayers can submit their tax return and relevant supporting documents online without needing to print and send them by regular mail.

After online submission, a receipt is generated that the taxpayer must print and sign personally, then mail it to their Ufficio circondariale di tassazione (District Tax Office) using the official return envelope.

Legal Entities

In the case of legal entities, electronically completed forms cannot be submitted by email to the Ufficio circondariale di tassazione (District Tax Office).

Therefore, it is necessary to print the forms and attach the required documentation before sending them to the competent Ufficio circondariale di tassazione. The correct submission procedure for electronically completed tax returns is available on the Canton's website.
