The FOCBS makes a significant contribution to federal receipts.
In 2022, the FOCBS collected CHF 24.3 billion in duty and levies at the border and within Switzerland. Total receipts were CHF 0.8 billion higher than in 2021. With these receipts, the FOCBS accounts for about one third of total federal receipts, thereby helping to ensure that the state functions properly.

Of all the levy categories, value added tax (VAT) recorded the largest increase (+8% compared to 2021). The collection of VAT on goods imported into Switzerland has thus continued its upward trend of the last four years and remains the principal source of receipts generated by the FOCBS.
Furthermore, in 2022 the FOCBS generated higher receipts compared to 2021 in CO2 tax on fuel and in other receipts, which include motorway tax stickers, beer tax and automobile duty. Conversely, receipts from mineral oil tax, tobacco duty, the heavy vehicle charge and import duties declined slightly.
