Our verdict on VSTax

VSTax is tax-return software from the Valais cantonal tax administration for individuals filing a Valais tax declaration. The 2025 edition is designed for residents who want to prepare a local return on Windows, macOS, or Linux, then submit it electronically. It is a focused regional option rather than software for handling tax returns across multiple jurisdictions.

Its main workflow combines preparation with document handling: VSTax can carry forward basic data from a prior-year VSTax return, import digital supporting documents into the return dossier, and print a receipt or return copy when applicable. Tell Tax adds a route for scanned paper receipts. With VSTaxQR, receipts can be imported through Tell Tax without creating an account. This makes the pairing relevant for filers who have paper receipts to include, while the return itself remains centered on VSTax desktop software.

The product is free, and the described filing workflow includes electronic submission over the internet. There is an important limit for anyone planning their receipt process beyond the 2025 edition: Tell Tax cloud storage of receipts is no longer supported from tax period 2026, though QR-based scanning remains available. VSTax is therefore a practical fit for individuals whose tax filing is within Valais and who want a no-cost local tool with carry-forward and receipt-import functions. Those seeking broader regional coverage or a filing workflow not centered on desktop software should consider another option.
