Lucerne tax figures

Tax year 2026

The figures that matter for your tax return, each with its official source: what each commune levies, and the main deductions.

Lucerne works in Taxpresso as a preview: it prepares your return and tells you what it doesn’t cover yet.

Communal tax rates (Steuereinheiten)

Your tax is the tax per unit (Steuer je Einheit) times the units (Steuereinheiten) of the canton, of your commune and, if you belong to one, of your parish: the more units, the more tax you pay. If you belong to a recognised church, it levies its own church tax: its rate is in the table too.

The canton’s own multiplier (Steuereinheiten Staat):

  • 2026 1.45
  • 2025 1.55

Deductions and their limits 2026

Deductions lower your taxable income. The canton’s tax (Staats- und Gemeindesteuern) and the federal direct tax each set their own limits. Here are the main ones Taxpresso’s code holds, each with its source; your canton’s official guide lists them all.

Check the official source before you rely on a figure: it has the final word.

Every figure on this page comes from Taxpresso’s own code, where it cites the official document shown next to it. This page is a reference, not tax advice. If in doubt, ask your canton’s tax office.
