Casatax 2025

The Casatax scheme, in force in the canton of Geneva, aims to facilitate access to property by reducing the costs associated with the purchase of a main residence. 

From 1 March 2025, adjustments have been made to the applicable amounts, reflecting the evolution of the Geneva construction price index.

New Casatax amounts for 2025

From 1 March 2025, Casatax amounts are as follows :

• Property value ceiling : CHF 1,374,396 (previously CHF 1,359,903)
• Registration fee reduction : CHF 20,616 (previously CHF 20,399).
• These adjustments, of around 1.1%, are based on the Geneva construction price index, which stood at 113.8 in October 2024, compared to 112.6 in October 2023.
