In many cantons, it is levied in proportion to the purchase price. However, there are also cantons in which, under certain conditions, no such tax is levied or the tax is reduced.

It generally corresponds to around 60-70 % of the standard market rent for comparable properties. Interest on debt and maintenance costs can be deducted as compensation.<br \/>However, on 28 September 2025, the abolition of the imputed rental value was decided in a referendum. It is to be abolished from tax year 2028 at the earliest. It can be assumed that deductions for debt interest and maintenance costs will then also be adjusted. However, the current regulation will continue to apply until implementation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-2413\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-2413\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Do I have to fill in a tax return with a B permit? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2413\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7159bc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a7159bc\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28508a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28508a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Persons with a residence permit B generally pay a so-called withholding tax in Switzerland, which is deducted directly from their salary.

Income and assets are recorded separately from this point onwards.<br \/><br \/>Property is particularly important: anyone who continues to live in the marital home must pay tax on the imputed rental value as income, while the owner can claim corresponding deductions. This rule is likely to change with the planned abolition of imputed rental value.<br \/><br \/>There are also other relevant aspects: Maintenance payments to the ex-partner are deductible for the payer and taxable for the recipient; child deductions are generally awarded to the parent with whom the children mainly live; and the division of debts, debt interest or pension benefits (e.g. pillar 3a) must also be taken into account.
