Bern: More and more people are filing their tax returns online

 Only 37 percent of taxpayers in the canton of Bern submitted their tax returns conventionally on paper last year. The remaining 63 percent completed this obligation on the computer and then submitted the forms online, as reported by SDA on Monday. This corresponds to an increase in online submissions of over a third compared to the previous year, and the Bernese tax administration wants to further expand its online offering as it obviously meets a need. In addition, the administration saves costs when tax returns are submitted online. The electronic processing of data is also ecologically advantageous. The tax administration is therefore now providing a simulation calculator on its website. Anyone who enters changes in income and assets will receive the corresponding tax amount.
In addition to the online offering, the Bernese tax administration also wants to further improve its communication. To this end, it is launching a newsletter entitled "10 minutes". The first one was published on Monday.
