Cantonal knowledge

Tax return in the Canton of Jura: what you should know

The Jura tax law applies equally throughout the canton – how much you pay in the end depends on your commune, the church tax and the deductions claimed.

Quotités of the canton and 50 communes

Jura first calculates a simple tax. The canton and the communes then apply their quotité to it: in tax year 2025, the canton levies 2.85 times this amount, the communes between 1.30 times (Les Breuleux) and 2.35 times (including Fontenais); Delémont is at 1.90, Porrentruy at 2.05.

On top of this comes church tax (impôt ecclésiastique) as a percentage of the cantonal tax – depending on the parish. What counts for your tax return is the commune of residence at the end of the year; the canton has 50 communes in the three districts of Delémont, Porrentruy and Franches-Montagnes.

JuraTax – now also fully online

Since tax year 2025, there has been JuraTax Online: the tax return is completed in the browser via the Guichet virtuel and filed with an electronic SwissID signature – without paper and without a signature on the form, including receipt upload by mobile phone. Alongside this, the tried-and-tested JuraTax software remains available for download.

Both are options for anyone who wants to complete the return themselves. If you want to be sure that every item is recorded correctly and in full, we take care of it for you: we enter your details, discuss the draft with you and prepare the submission.

Typical mistakes that cost Jura taxpayers money

In practice, we see the same points again and again: the unlimited commuter deduction is not fully used because journeys are recorded incompletely. The increased child deduction from the third child (CHF 6'400 instead of 5'700) is forgotten. And the early deadline at the end of February is missed, which can trigger a reminder and fees.

The increased insurance deduction for persons without a pension fund and pillar 3a also often remains unused. A specialist checks every item individually and points out missing receipts to you before the return is filed.

Tax deductions in the Canton of Jura: making the most of every option

Anyone who knows all the permissible deductions and claims them correctly reduces their tax burden noticeably. We check every deduction item systematically for your situation. The following maximum amounts apply to tax year 2025; the official information from the canton is authoritative.

  1. 01

    Professional expenses & commuter deduction

    Travel expenses are deductible without a maximum at cantonal level – for cars at 70 centimes per kilometre up to 8'000 km, degressive above that (federal level: maximum CHF 3'300). In addition, meals away from home at CHF 15 per working day or a maximum of CHF 3'200 per year.

  2. 02

    Child deductions & third-party childcare

    Child deduction of CHF 5'700 per child, from the third child CHF 6'400. In addition, documented third-party childcare costs up to CHF 10'600 per child under 14 (tax year 2025).

  3. 03

    Pillar 3a & pension provision

    Payments into tied pension provision are deductible up to CHF 7'258 (tax year 2025, employees with a pension fund); pension fund buy-ins come on top. We assign the certificates to the correct item and check whether the permissible amount has been fully used.

  4. 04

    Insurance premiums & savings interest

    Deductible up to CHF 6'800 for married couples or CHF 3'400 for others – increased up to CHF 8'380 if no contributions are made to a pension fund or pillar 3a – plus CHF 1'020 per child and CHF 3'400 per young person in education (tax year 2025).

  5. 05

    Further education costs

    Job-related education and further education: at cantonal level up to CHF 12'000, at federal level up to CHF 13'000 per person and year (tax year 2025). This includes course fees, teaching materials, examination fees and travel costs to the course venue.

  6. 06

    Donations & charitable contributions

    Voluntary contributions to tax-exempt charitable institutions domiciled in Switzerland as well as contributions to political parties, each within the applicable limits.

There are also further items such as debt interest, maintenance payments, property costs or asset management costs. We clarify which deductions can be substantiated in your situation before processing – free of charge and without obligation.

Deadlines and filing in the Canton of Jura

Withholding tax

Withholding tax in the Canton of Jura

If your salary is taxed directly at source, an ordinary tax return is not automatically necessary – but in certain cases it is mandatory or possible on a voluntary basis.

01

Who is subject to withholding tax?

In principle, foreign employees without a C settlement permit who are resident or staying in the canton – for example with a B or L permit. The Service des contributions, Section Impôts spéciaux, in Les Breuleux is responsible. Genuine cross-border commuters from France are taxed at their place of residence under the 1983 agreement and not at source.

02

NOV – subsequent ordinary assessment

From a gross annual income of CHF 120'000, the subsequent ordinary assessment (NOV) is mandatory – for the current year and all following years, even if income later falls below the threshold. Below that, it can be requested voluntarily – in writing by 31 March of the following year; the application is irrevocable.

03

How we support you

We check the tariff code, marital status, other income and possible deductions and assess whether an NOV is worthwhile in your case. We then submit the application on time and prepare the complete tax return.

This information is for guidance only and does not replace an individual assessment. We check your specific situation before processing.

Typical situations in the Canton of Jura

The early deadline at the end of February

28 February comes around quickly – anyone who does not have their documents together extends online via the Guichet virtuel, at the latest until the end of October. We take care of your deadlines in good time so that no reminder lands in your letterbox.

Commuting without a cap

Jura is one of the few cantons without a maximum for the commuter deduction: car journeys count without limit at cantonal level at 70 centimes per kilometre (degressive from 8'000 km). Especially for longer commutes into the neighbouring cantons, precise recording pays off.

Watch industry and cross-border commuters

Many employees in the Jura industry live in France: for genuine cross-border commuters, the 1983 agreement applies, with taxation at the place of residence. What counts is the certificate of residence and the return rules – we check the requirements.

Big differences between 50 communes

Les Breuleux (quotité 1.30) and Fontenais (2.35) are worlds apart – with identical income. On top of this comes church tax as a percentage of the cantonal tax. You cannot always choose where you live, but you can choose your deductions: we make full use of them.

Property and imputed rental value in the Canton of Jura

Anyone who owns residential property in the Canton of Jura pays tax on the imputed rental value (valeur locative) as income and can in return deduct mortgage interest, maintenance and administration costs. The key is a clean separation: repairs and replacements preserve the value and are deductible; an extension increases it and is not.

On top of this, the Jura communes levy a property tax (taxe immobilière) on the official value – in 2025, between 0.8 and 1.5 per mille depending on the commune. We compile the maintenance costs carefully – lump sum or actual, whichever is more favourable for your tax year.

If your property is located in another canton or you own several properties, a tax allocation is made between the public authorities involved. We record all properties in full.

  • Imputed rental value and property details recorded correctly
  • Mortgage interest and list of debts checked
  • Maintenance: value-preserving separated from value-enhancing
  • Lump-sum or actual deduction compared
  • Properties outside the canton taken into account

Additional service: CHF 65.– per property.

Communal comparison

Tax multipliers (quotités) of the communes in the Canton of Jura

The tax results from the simple tax multiplied by the quotité of the canton (2.85 in tax year 2025) and the quotité of the commune; on top of this comes church tax as a percentage of the cantonal tax. The following overview shows the communal quotités.

In 2025, the range extends from 1.30 (Les Breuleux) to 2.35 (including Fontenais) – considerably more than one and a half times. Depending on where you live, your tax burden can vary greatly; this makes a tax return that fully exploits all permissible deductions all the more important.
