Imputed rental value abolition 2029: Why a bathroom renovation and shower conversion are particularly worthwhile now
Switzerland is facing a historic system change in the real estate and tax sector: On 28 September 2025, the Swiss electorate approved the abolition of the imputed rental value. This will change a lot for homeowners – especially with regard to tax deductions for renovations, refurbishments and conversions.
Anyone who has been thinking about a bathroom renovation, a shower renovation or a modern shower conversion for some time should therefore take advantage of the coming years. Because from January 1, 2029, many tax advantages will be lost. Now is exactly the right time to upgrade your own bathroom, sustainably increase living comfort and at the same time still benefit from today's tax opportunities.
Implement an attractive conversion of your own shower now!
What does the abolition of imputed rental value mean?
The imputed rental value is a fictitious income that homeowners in Switzerland have to pay tax on if they live in their own property themselves. Put simply, the state assumes that owners have a financial advantage through rent-free living – and this advantage is taxed.
On 28 September 2025, the Swiss population decided to abolish this system.
For owners, this means in the future:
- No more imputed rental value on owner-occupied residential property
- No taxation of a theoretical rent
- At the same time, however, there are also fewer tax deductions
Because with the abolition of the imputed rental value, many previously possible tax deductions for:
- Renovations, refurbishments, maintenance work, especially bathroom renovations and shower conversions
- value-preserving investments
Why a bathroom renovation is particularly worthwhile now
Until the end of 2028, renovation and refurbishment costs can still be claimed for tax purposes in many cases. After that, this will be significantly reduced or eliminated altogether – especially in the case of owner-occupied residential property.
This means in concrete terms:
Bathrooms in particular are among the most important living areas of all today. They have long since ceased to be just functional wet rooms. Modern bathrooms are increasingly developing into personal wellness oases – places of recreation, regeneration and daily relaxation.

Increaseproperty value with modern bathrooms
Today, a modern bathroom is one of the most important factors in the attractiveness of a property. High-quality showers, spacious interior design and modern wellness solutions not only increase living comfort, but often also the long-term value of the property.
Particularly in demand today:
- bodenebene Duschen
- offene Duschkonzepte
- grossformatige Materialien
- hochwertige Armaturen
- wellness functions
- health-oriented shower systems
With a professional bathroom renovation, owners therefore invest in comfort, health and value retention at the same time.
Abolition of imputed rental value: Clever use of the transitional period
There will be a transitional period until the new system is definitively introduced. The Federal Council has decided that the abolition of the imputed rental value will be implemented from the 2029 tax year.
This means that the years 2026, 2027 and 2028 are crucial for owners who still want to use planned renovations for tax purposes.
If you are planning a renovation anyway, you should not wait too long.
Create your own wellness shower now
Today, a modern shower is much more than just a function. It stands for quality of life, health, relaxation and modern living.
With Aglaja's innovative solutions, you can create your own personal wellness oasis at home – and at the same time make the most of the remaining time until the tax deductions for renovation are abolished.

- daily wellness feeling
- health added value
- modern Badezimmerdesign
- sustainable increase in the value of the property
Conclusion: Now is the ideal time for the shower conversion
The abolition of imputed rental value will fundamentally change the tax situation for Swiss homeowners. From 2029, renovation work on owner-occupied residential property will become much less attractive from a tax point of view.
If you are already thinking about a bathroom renovation, a renovation or a shower conversion, you should definitely take advantage of the remaining years.
Because a modern shower with the high-quality Aglaja shower system means much more than just a beautiful bathroom:
You invest in daily well-being, health, comfort and real quality of life – day after day.
