Tax deductions

  • Carry-forward : Seule la part des frais d'investissement destinés à économiser l'énergie et à ménager l'environnement ainsi que les frais de démolition en vue d'une construction de remplacement, qui n'a pas pu être déduite l'année de facturation (année N) car elle aurait engendré un revenu net négatif, peut être reportée sur les deux années fiscales suivantes (N+1 et N+2). Ces frais doivent avoir été intégralement déclarés l'année de leur facturation. Si des frais sont reportés, la déduction forfaitaire n'est pas possible pour l'immeuble concerné pour la période fiscale correspondante. Le droit de reporter est réservé au propriétaire ayant supporté les frais. L'Intendance des impôts détermine d'office les frais reportables.
  • Flat rate deduction : 10% du rendement brut des loyers ou de la valeur locative (max. 7 200 CHF) si l'âge du bâtiment est inférieur ou égal à dix ans; 20% du rendement brut des loyers ou de la valeur locative (max. 12 000 CHF) si l'âge du bâtiment est supérieur à dix ans. Aucune autre déduction supplémentaire n'est possible avec le forfait. Les propriétaires d'immeubles commerciaux affectés à leur activité indépendante ne peuvent pas opter pour la déduction forfaitaire pour ces immeubles, mais c'est possible pour d'autres immeubles de leur fortune privée.
  • Maintenance costs : Le/la contribuable peut choisir, lors de chaque période fiscale et pour chaque immeuble, entre la déduction des frais effectifs et la déduction forfaitaire. Les frais effectifs déductibles sont ceux visant à maintenir la valeur de l'immeuble, facturés durant l'année de calcul. Si les dépenses comportent des dépenses d’entretien, d’amélioration et/ou d’économies d’énergie, une répartition par nature est nécessaire selon un catalogue de répartition.
  • Energy investments : Les investissements destinés à économiser l’énergie et à ménager l’environnement (remplacement d'éléments vétustes ou adjonction d'éléments/installations dans les bâtiments existants) sont déductibles. Ces frais peuvent être reportés sur les deux années fiscales suivantes s'ils n'ont pas pu être déduits intégralement l'année de facturation (N, N+1, N+2).
