Urgent: Tech Issues Disrupt Online Tax Returns in Bern – Breaking News
Bern, Switzerland – July 9, 2025 – In an urgent update, the canton of Bern has reported significant technical issues with its “Belogin” online registration service, impacting the submission of tax returns. Residents who intended to submit their tax returns online today faced difficulties filling out forms and logging into the service.
Technical Problems Continue into Afternoon
The canton’s EP announced that technical problems persisted on Wednesday afternoon, affecting the login process and overall access to e-services. The Cantonal Management assured that experts are working diligently to resolve the issues.
The Impact on Tax Returns
The deadline for submitting tax returns without a fine is approaching fast, with July 15th as the cut-off date. As a result, the Cantonal Tax Administration is examining various scenarios to ensure residents can still file their tax returns if access problems continue.
Federal Government’s Role in the Disruption
The root cause of the disruption lies in adjustments made by the Federal Authentication Service (Agov) over the weekend. The canton of Bern’s Belogin service is based on Agov’s technology, which experienced intermittent issues following the software update. This glitch affected the canton’s digital infrastructure, causing delays and service interruptions.
