Receipts

The FOCBS makes a significant contribution to federal receipts.

In 2024, the FOCBS has collected a total of CHF 23.7 billion in levies at the border and within Switzerland. The level of receipts thus remained stable. They accounted for around a third of the total federal receipts of approximately CHF 84 billion.

The largest proportion came from value added tax and mineral oil tax. The decline in import duties was primarily attributable to the abolition of industrial tariffs with effect from 1 January 2024.
