Your canton · Uri
In Uri, the section depends on the token: a cryptocurrency that has a security number is declared under “Wertschriften” (securities), like a security; the others under “übrige Guthaben / Kryptowährungen” (other assets / cryptocurrencies). The same wallet may therefore have to be split between two sections.
Source: written answers from the Amt für Steuern (tax office) of the canton of Uri, 25 and 28 September 2026. Updated on 14 October 2026.
| Token with a security number | Section “Wertschriften”, like an ordinary security. The software automatically matches it with the price list. |
| Token without a security number | Section “übrige Guthaben / Kryptowährungen”. |
| Supporting documents | Wallet extract recommended, but not always required. |
| Cantonal guidance | None. |
It depends on the token: under “Wertschriften” (securities) if it has a security number, otherwise under “übrige Guthaben / Kryptowährungen” (other assets / cryptocurrencies).
The rest does not depend on the canton. What is taxable, the value to use as at 31 December, the treatment of staking or airdrops: these rules are federal and apply everywhere in Switzerland. They are explained in the frequently asked questions and in the free guide.
Level 2, in preparation, will go further for the canton of Uri: which price to use for a token missing from the Federal Tax Administration's list, where to declare income from staking, lending or airdrops, how to present your cryptocurrencies in your tax return, and which documents to prepare from 31 December.

Deadlines change from year to year: check them on your form. The terms in quotation marks are those of the cantonal form or software, in German. The data and contacts on this page may also change: we update it regularly, but rely on its update date and, if in doubt, check with the cantonal administration.
