End-of-year documents

At the beginning of each fiscal year, Swissquote provides several documents free of charge, including an account statement, an interest statement and a portfolio performance report. These documents are available from mid-January and can be consulted throughout the year.

Usually, these documents should suffice to complete a tax return. However, you may need to retrieve the dividend confirmations separately.

Account statements on request

You can generate custom account statements for any given date from My account > Documents > Request statement. Simply enter the desired date (or date range) and send your request.

When choosing a date range, you can also show the TWR and MWR analysis of your portfolio.

The account statement is generated as a PDF, available typically within 15 minutes.

Tax statements

If you would like a tax statement to help you complete your tax return, you can order one easily from your account. For Swiss residents, the tax statement costs 85 Swiss francs for a digital version or 100 Swiss francs for a physical version. For Swiss residents, a complimentary e-Tax Statement is also provided alongside the paid tax statement.

The eTax statement makes it easier for you to file your tax return: by uploading your statement directly to your tax software, all the required tax information will be automatically pre-filled. 

The price of your tax statement will vary depending on your chosen document type: 

How to order your tax statement

1. Log in to your Swissquote account from a computer (this function is not available on the mobile application) and enter your login details.
2. In the main menu, click on the ‘Documents’ tab.
3. Select ‘Statement request’ and then choose the ‘Tax return’ category.
4. Fill in the necessary information: select the account concerned, the currency, the desired tax year and the delivery method. Make sure you choose the right details, especially the tax year.
5. Once you have double-checked all the information, click ‘Confirm’ to validate your request.
