Foreign exchange rates FTA
The Federal Tax Administration FTA and all cantonal tax administrations estimate taxes in Swiss francs. Compensation, wages, income, etc. paid to the taxpayer in a foreign currency must therefore be converted into Swiss francs. For this purpose, the various exchange rates of the foreign currencies are provided by the FTA. Please note that the exchange rates of the foreign currencies vary depending on the tax.
Value added tax
For the conversion of charges in foreign currency, either the monthly average rate published by the Federal Tax Administration FTA or the daily exchange rate (sell) can be used. Taxable persons who are part of a group can use their internal group exchange rate for the conversion.

The annual average rates and the exchange rates for banknotes and banknotes as at 31 December are also published in this way. These rates are provided for the conversion of tax-relevant income and assets into CHF, among other things.
