Vehicle tax

What does this car cost in your canton?

26 cantons, 26 tariffs, no common formula. Enter what your registration document says and see the tax – for your canton, or for all of them at once.

Item 24 on the registration document. We take the weight, power and displacement from it.

All 26 at a glance

Every canton runs its own calculator and none of them compares. For the same car, the gap between the cheapest and the dearest canton runs to multiples.

Under the tariff in force

Every amount carries the tariff version and a link to the canton. Where no tariff is on record we say so, rather than showing zero francs.

And in five years

Eco discounts lapse, a few cantons count the age, and at thirty the car becomes a veteran.

Why there is no Swiss tariff

Vehicle tax is cantonal, and the cantons do not even agree on what to tax: nine different bases are in use – displacement, gross weight, power, CO₂ and combinations of those. On top come eco bonuses and surcharges, special rules for electric cars and veteran vehicles, and reforms that individual cantons are working through right now. Comparing is therefore not a conversion but 26 separate calculations. That is exactly what we run, and every amount says which tariff it came from.
