Simplification and digitalisation

The systematic simplification and end-to-end digitalisation of FOCBS processes formally started with the launch of the DaziT programme on 1 January 2018 and will be completed by the end of 2026.

64 geofences were set up along the Swiss border. They have enabled more than 130'000 automatic activations with the Activ and Periodic apps.


45%

The introduction of the European Electronic Toll System (EETS) has made it possible for the performance-related heavy vehicle charge (HVC) to be collected automatically for foreign-registered lorries. Since January 2020, more than 3,5 journeys through Switzerland have been processed with EETS. Although there are currently only two FOCBS-certified EETS providers offering this new service, usage is already at 45%.

More than two thirds of bus and camper van drivers travelling to Switzerland from abroad are now choosing to pay the lump-sum heavy vehicle charge (PSVA) digitally. The smartphone app Via, a winner of the "Best of Swiss Apps" award, is increasingly replacing the old paper-based solution. Since its launch in early 2019, it has been used more than 90'000 times.


100%

Today, all beer tax in Switzerland and Liechtenstein is collected digitally. The tax is calculated automatically and the refund process is also digital. Actually 1'180 breweries are registered at the FOCBS. 


35'000

The Cassa app has already been used over 35'000 times by FOCBS staff for the mobile collection of amounts such as fines. This corresponds to a value of more than CHF 5.7 million.


130'000

The QuickZoll app for customs clearance in tourist traffic is attracting a growing number of users. The symbolic threshold of 130'000 goods declarations was passed just as the DaziT project reached the halfway mark. In 2021, around 13% of all revenues from tourist traffic were collected via this tried and tested smartphone app.
