Published and maintained by eCH — the Swiss e-government standards body, it specifies exactly how financial data must be structured so that cantonal tax software can read and import it automatically. The current version is 2.2.0, approved in June 2022.","resource.ech0196.what.body2","The standard was developed through a joint effort between cantonal tax authorities and pilot banks. Its goal is simple: eliminate the manual data entry that taxpayers face every year when transferring investment data into their tax returns. By defining a universal machine-readable format, eCH-0196 allows any financial institution to produce a file that any canton's tax software can understand.","resource.ech0196.schema.title","Inside the XML schema","resource.ech0196.schema.body1","The eCH-0196 schema organizes financial data into clearly defined sections. At the top level, the document identifies the financial institution and the client. Below that, it contains four main areas: a list of bank accounts with their balances and interest, a liabilities section for loans and negative balances, an expenses section for banking fees, and — most importantly for investors — a securities list with every position, its year-end valuation, and all income received during the tax year.","resource.ech0196.schema.body2","Each security position includes detailed fields: the ISIN or valor number, the security name, the quantity held, the purchase price, the year-end market value, and every dividend or interest payment received. The schema also tracks withholding tax (Verrechnungssteuer) amounts, making it possible for the tax software to automatically calculate reclaimable tax credits. The standard builds on other eCH standards like eCH-0007 (municipalities), eCH-0008 (countries), and eCH-0097 (company identification).","resource.ech0196.delivery.title","PDF with embedded data and barcodes","resource.ech0196.delivery.body1","The eCH-0196 data doesn't travel as a standalone XML file. Instead, it is embedded inside a PDF document — the familiar tax statement that customers receive from their bank. For customers who use online banking, the PDF contains the eCH-0196 XML as embedded structured data that tax software can extract automatically upon import.","resource.ech0196.delivery.body2","For customers who receive a printed tax statement, the standard also defines a barcode encoding. The bank prints 2D barcodes on the paper statement that contain the same eCH-0196 data in compressed form.

Each entry includes the currency, the exchange rate used, and the CHF equivalent.","resource.ech0196.data.body2","For securities specifically, the schema records the full transaction history relevant to taxation: purchases, sales, corporate actions like stock splits or mergers, and any withholding tax deducted at source. This level of detail means the tax software can not only fill in the wealth and income schedules but also verify consistency — reducing audit risk for the taxpayer.","resource.ech0196.gap.title","Why foreign brokers don't support it","resource.ech0196.gap.body1","Swiss banks have adopted eCH-0196 because cantonal tax authorities require it and because their customer base is predominantly Swiss. Foreign brokers like Interactive Brokers, DEGIRO, or Coinbase operate globally and serve Swiss residents as a small fraction of their user base. Implementing a Switzerland-specific XML standard for tax reporting is simply not on their roadmap.","resource.ech0196.gap.body2","This creates a real problem for Swiss residents who invest through foreign brokers.

But unlike Swiss banks, IB does not provide an eSteuerauszug — the electronic tax statement in eCH-0196 format that cantonal tax software can import automatically. This means Swiss residents with an IB account must enter their investment data manually into their tax return.","resource.ibkr.why.body2","For a portfolio with just a handful of positions, this is tedious but manageable. For active investors holding dozens or hundreds of securities across multiple currencies, it becomes a multi-hour ordeal every tax season. Each position must be declared with its year-end valuation, and every dividend payment must be listed as taxable income — complete with the correct withholding tax amount and currency conversion.","resource.ibkr.taxdata.title","What tax data you need","resource.ibkr.taxdata.body1","The Swiss tax return requires you to complete the Wertschriftenverzeichnis (securities register): a full list of every security you held on December 31, its year-end market value, and all income earned throughout the year. Specifically, you need to declare each position's ISIN or Swiss valor number, quantity, year-end price per unit, currency, and the total value converted to CHF. This data forms the basis of your taxable wealth (Vermögen).","resource.ibkr.taxdata.body2","On the income side, you must report every dividend and interest payment received during the tax year. For each payment, the tax authorities want to see the gross amount, the withholding tax deducted at source, the currency, and the CHF equivalent. You also need to report realized capital gains, although for private investors in Switzerland these are generally tax-free. Finally, any foreign withholding tax you paid — especially US withholding on American stocks — can be reclaimed through the DA-1 form.","resource.ibkr.findib.title","Where to find it in Interactive Brokers","resource.ibkr.findib.body1","All the data you need is available in your IB Activity Statement. Log in to Client Portal, navigate to Performance & Reports, then Statements. Generate an Activity Statement for the full tax year (January 1 to December 31). The key sections are: \"Open Positions\" for your year-end holdings and market values, \"Dividends\" for gross dividend income, \"Withholding Tax\" for tax deducted at source, \"Interest\" for cash interest earned, and \"Realized & Unrealized Performance Summary\" for capital gains and losses.","resource.ibkr.findib.body2","For more granular control, you can create a custom Flex Query — a flexible report that lets you select exactly which data fields to export as XML. This is especially useful if you want to automate the process or use tools like eTaxify. See our separate guide on how to export your IBKR Flex Query for step-by-step instructions.","resource.ibkr.entering.title","Entering securities into tax software","resource.ibkr.entering.body1","In your canton's tax software, you add each security to the Wertschriftenverzeichnis. For each position, enter: the security description (e.g. \"Apple Inc.\"), the ISIN (e.g. US0378331005), the quantity held on December 31, the year-end market value per unit, and the currency. The tax software converts the value to CHF using official exchange rates. For listed securities, Swiss tax authorities use the Kursliste value from ICTax, which may differ slightly from the closing price shown in your IB statement.","resource.ibkr.entering.body2","The year-end valuation in your IB \"Open Positions\" section shows the Mark-to-Market value on December 31. In practice, the cantonal tax software expects you to use the official ICTax valuation for Swiss-listed and many internationally-listed securities. For securities not listed on ICTax, you use the market value from your broker statement. This distinction matters because using the wrong valuation source can trigger questions from the tax office.","resource.ibkr.income.title","Reporting income and withholding tax","resource.ibkr.income.body1","Dividends are taxable income (Einkommen) in Switzerland and must be reported individually per security. For each dividend, declare the gross amount, the currency, and any withholding tax deducted. Foreign withholding tax — such as the 15% US treaty rate on American dividends — can be credited against your Swiss tax liability through the DA-1 form (Antrag auf pauschale Steueranrechnung). Interest earned on cash balances at IB is also taxable income and should be declared in the same section.","resource.ibkr.income.body2","Realized capital gains from selling securities are generally tax-free for private investors in Switzerland (steuerfreier Kapitalgewinn). This is one of the most important advantages of the Swiss tax system for investors. However, there are exceptions: if the tax authority classifies you as a professional securities dealer (gewerbsmässiger Wertschriftenhändler), your capital gains become taxable. The criteria include trading frequency, leverage, and whether investment income represents a significant share of total income.","resource.ibkr.currency.title","Currency conversion","resource.ibkr.currency.body1","Swiss tax returns are filed in CHF, so all foreign-currency amounts must be converted. Two different exchange rates apply: for wealth (Vermögen), use the official year-end rate as of December 31 — published by the Federal Tax Administration on ICTax. For income items like dividends and interest, use the exchange rate on the date of the transaction (payment date). The ICTax platform publishes year-end rates for all major currencies.","resource.ibkr.currency.body2","Getting the exchange rates right is important because using the wrong rate can lead to discrepancies that the tax office may flag. IB activity statements show amounts in the original currency and often also in the account base currency, but not in CHF. You need to apply the correct Swiss official rates yourself — or use a tool like eTaxify that handles this conversion automatically.","resource.ibkr.form1042s.title","The 1042-S form and US tax reclaim","resource.ibkr.form1042s.body1","If you hold US stocks, Interactive Brokers will issue an IRS Form 1042-S — usually by mid-March for the prior tax year. This form reports all US-source income (dividends from American companies) and the withholding tax deducted by the IRS. It is a separate document from your IB activity statement and serves as official proof of US tax paid.

If you hold US stocks, ETFs, or other US-source investments through a foreign broker like Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, or DEGIRO, the IRS requires the paying institution to withhold tax at the source and report it on a 1042-S.","resource.form1042s.what.body2","As a Swiss resident, every time a US company pays you a dividend or certain types of interest, a portion is withheld and sent directly to the IRS before you ever see the money. Form 1042-S is the receipt for that withholding. It documents exactly how much income you received, how much tax was withheld, and under which tax treaty (if any) the withholding rate was reduced.","resource.form1042s.when.title","When do Swiss residents receive a 1042-S?","resource.form1042s.when.body1","You will receive a Form 1042-S for any tax year in which you earned US-source income subject to withholding. The most common scenario is receiving dividends from US stocks or US-domiciled ETFs. Your broker typically makes the form available by mid-March following the end of the tax year. For example, a 1042-S for the 2025 tax year would be available in early 2026.","resource.form1042s.when.body2","Not all income triggers a 1042-S. Capital gains from selling US securities are generally not subject to US withholding for non-residents. Interest on US Treasury bonds is also exempt. The form only covers income categories where the US claims the right to tax at the source — primarily dividends, certain interest payments, and royalties.","resource.form1042s.fields.title","Key fields on the 1042-S","resource.form1042s.fields.body1","The 1042-S contains several boxes that are important for your Swiss tax return. Understanding these fields helps you correctly report your US income and claim the right tax credits:","resource.form1042s.fields.item1","Box 1 – Income Code: Identifies the type of income (e.g., code 06 for dividends, code 01 for interest). This determines how the income is classified on your Swiss return.","resource.form1042s.fields.item2","Box 2 – Gross Income: The total gross amount of US-source income paid to you before any withholding. This is the amount you must report as foreign income in your Swiss tax return.","resource.form1042s.fields.item3","Box 3a – Tax Rate: The withholding rate applied. Under the US-Switzerland treaty, this is typically 15% for dividends. Without a treaty, the default rate would be 30%.","resource.form1042s.fields.item4","Box 7a – Federal Tax Withheld: The actual dollar amount withheld by the IRS. This is the amount you can claim as a foreign tax credit on your Swiss DA-1 form.","resource.form1042s.fields.item5","Box 12a – Withholding Agent: The institution that withheld the tax — typically your broker or its US clearing partner.","resource.form1042s.fields.item6","Box 13 – Recipient's Country Code: Should show \"SZ\" for Switzerland, confirming the treaty rate was applied correctly.","resource.form1042s.treaty.title","The US-Switzerland double taxation treaty","resource.form1042s.treaty.body1","Switzerland and the United States have a bilateral tax treaty that prevents the same income from being taxed twice. Without this treaty, the US would withhold 30% of all dividend payments to foreign investors. Thanks to the treaty, Swiss residents benefit from a reduced withholding rate of 15% on most US dividends.","resource.form1042s.treaty.body2","For the reduced rate to apply, your broker must have your correct W-8BEN form on file. This form certifies your Swiss tax residency and your eligibility for treaty benefits. Most brokers ask you to fill out the W-8BEN when you open your account, and it must be renewed every three years. If your W-8BEN expires or was never filed, your broker will withhold at the full 30% rate instead of 15%.","resource.form1042s.treaty.body3","The treaty also determines how you can recover the withheld tax. The 15% withheld in the US can be credited against your Swiss tax liability using the DA-1 form. In practice, this means you don't actually lose the 15% — it reduces your Swiss tax bill by the same amount. Effectively, you pay the same total tax you would have paid without any US investments.","resource.form1042s.da1.title","Claiming the DA-1 foreign tax credit in Switzerland","resource.form1042s.da1.body1","The DA-1 (Antrag auf Anrechnung ausländischer Quellensteuern) is the Swiss form used to reclaim foreign withholding taxes by crediting them against your cantonal and federal tax liability. For US dividends where 15% was withheld under the treaty, you report the gross dividend amount and the withheld tax on the DA-1. The Swiss tax authorities then reduce your tax bill accordingly.","resource.form1042s.da1.body2","To file the DA-1, you need to report the gross income amount in the original currency (USD), the exchange rate used for conversion, and the exact amount of foreign tax withheld. Your Form 1042-S provides all of these figures. Many cantons allow you to submit the DA-1 together with your regular tax return, while others require a separate filing.","resource.form1042s.da1.body3","Keep in mind that the DA-1 credit is limited to the amount of Swiss tax that would have been due on the same income. If your marginal Swiss tax rate on this income is lower than 15%, you may not recover the full withholding. Additionally, each canton has slightly different procedures and deadlines for DA-1 claims, so check your canton's specific requirements.","resource.form1042s.reclaim.title","What if too much US tax was withheld?","resource.form1042s.reclaim.body1","If your broker withheld at 30% instead of the treaty rate of 15% — for example because your W-8BEN had expired — you have two options. First, you can ask your broker to correct the withholding rate retroactively. Many brokers can adjust the rate and issue a corrected 1042-S. Second, you can file IRS Form 1040-NR (US Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return) to claim a refund of the excess withholding directly from the IRS.","resource.form1042s.reclaim.body2","The IRS refund process can take several months and requires you to obtain an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) if you don't already have one. In most cases, it's simpler and faster to ensure your W-8BEN is always current with your broker so the correct 15% rate is applied from the start. Check your broker's account settings regularly to verify your tax form status.","resource.form1042s.etaxify.title","How eTaxify handles US withholding tax","resource.form1042s.etaxify.body1","When you upload your broker data to eTaxify, we automatically identify all US-source dividend payments and the associated withholding tax.
