Tax Tips
Download PDFReal estate gains tax is only due upon the sale of a property, provided that a gain is realized. The amount of the tax depends, among other things, on the gain realized, the holding period, and cantonal regulations.
Mortgage interest, maintenance work intended to preserve property value, and renovations intended to preserve property value may be claimed as tax deductions. Energy-efficiency renovations are also frequently eligible for tax benefits. The deductions available depend on cantonal regulations.
That depends on the specific canton and, in some cases, on the municipality. While some cantons levy a property tax, others do not have such a tax. Regardless, however, property owners are generally required to include the imputed rental value (through 2028) and the assessed value of their property in their tax return.
Professional advice makes it possible to examine tax implications at an early stage and prepare financial decisions in the best possible way. This makes it easier to plan for possible tax consequences, mortgage issues and investment decisions.
In addition to possible taxes, other costs may arise when selling, such as for the notary’s office, land register, marketing or the early termination of a mortgage. Early planning helps to realistically estimate these costs.
