Frequently asked questions

Is the Canton of Jura fiscally attractive for families?
The Canton of Jura offers attractive conditions for families, combining moderate taxation with a low cost of living. Deductions for dependent children, Jura family allowances, and deductible childcare costs all help reduce the tax burden on households. Moreover, property prices significantly lower than those in the Lake Geneva region provide a higher purchasing power, even if salaries may be slightly lower.
How are cross-border workers living in Jura and working in France taxed?
Jura residents working in France are taxed in Switzerland on their professional income from French sources, under the Franco-Swiss double taxation convention. France may nonetheless withhold a limited tax at source in certain cases. The taxpayer must declare all worldwide income in their Jura tax return. Tax paid in France is taken into account through a relief or lump-sum credit to avoid double taxation.
How can I get an extension for the tax return in Jura?
Jura taxpayers can request an extension of the filing deadline for their tax return from the Canton of Jura's tax office (Service des contributions). The request can be made online or by mail before the deadline. A first additional extension is generally granted free of charge. In case of unjustified delay without an extension request, the administration may send a reminder with a fee, then proceed with an ex officio assessment.
