Accounting firm in the canton of Jura
The youngest Swiss canton, bordering France along much of its length, with a fabric of industrial and subcontracting SMEs.
Industry, subcontracting and cross-border work
Jura's economy is made up of industrial and subcontracting SMEs: machining, precision work, industrial subcontracting. These are companies with heavy investment, where depreciation weighs on the accounts, and which often export.
The border with France is long, and a notable share of the workforce lives there. The applicable tax regime depends on the agreement with the country of residence, and it differs from the one that applies in Geneva.
Jura's calendar and administration
In the canton of Jura, tax matters are handled by the Service des contributions of the Republic and Canton of Jura, in Delémont. The cantonal administration is small: there are fewer counterparts and they are often more accessible than in Geneva. That is an advantage, and it means knowing the practice rather than only the written procedure, which is harder from abroad.
The return must be filed by the deadline set by the canton. A paid extension can be requested through the online counter (guichet virtuel) until 31 October; where a representative acts for you, the deadline can run to 15 December.
To challenge a tax assessment, a written objection must be sent to the Service des contributions within 30 days of its notification. Where the assessment was made ex officio, the objection must state its grounds.
The withholding tax tariffs include tariffs A0/H, B, C and G, with a single tariff per code. Parish tax is included in the amount withheld.
