August 4, 2023
The motorway tax sticket for the calendar year 2023 can now be purchased electronically at http://www.e-vignette.ch using the Via portal of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (FOCBS). Sales have started well but the FOCBS has already received requests for refunds for e-vignettes purchased in error. By law, there is no provision for refunds of the e-vignette. However, the FOCBS is making an exception during the first week since its introduction.
Just like the adhesive 2023 motorway tax sticker, which will continue to be sold, the 2023 e-vignette is valid until January 3, 2024. If you already have a valid motorway tax sticker for the current year, you will only need a new one for the 2024 vignette year. This will be available from December 1, 2023 as an adhesive sticker or e-vignette. In view of various requests for refunds for e-vignettes purchased in error during the introduction phase, the FOCBS is showing goodwill: refunds will be made for e-vignettes purchased in error up to and including August 7, 2023. Requests for refunds must be submitted together with the receipt via the contact form at http://www.e-vignette.ch. In line with the Vignette Act, no refunds will be granted for e-vignette purchases made after August 8, 2023.
