Valaisan legal source types covered
Valaisan coverage currently centres on cantonal tax administrative practice: extracts of the cantonal tax law, circulars and directives, forms, and related guidance, published in both French and German. Broader cantonal legislation and case law are covered where available and are a natural next step for the source set.
Legislation & Regulations
Extracts of the Valais cantonal tax law — the Loi fiscale du 10 mars 1976 (LF) — covering topics such as inheritance and gift tax (successions et donations) and real-estate gains tax (gains immobiliers), taken directly from the Service cantonal des contributions on vs.ch. Broader cantonal legislation from the Recueil systématique de la législation valaisanne (RS/VS) is covered where available.
Legislative History
Successive annual editions of tax forms and extracts, plus consultation and reform notices on the Loi fiscale where available, each tied to its source; full Grand Conseil / Grosser Rat parliamentary history is not yet part of this corpus.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Tax circulars, directives, instructions, and forms (formulaires, indications) on cantonal tax practice from the Service cantonal des contributions — the bulk of the current corpus, covering topics such as direct cantonal taxes, participations, deductions, and the interplay with federal direct tax (IFD).
Case Law
Decisions of the Valais tax appeals body (Commission cantonale de recours en matière fiscale) and Federal Supreme Court (Tribunal fédéral) tax rulings are covered where available; general Valais cantonal case law is not currently part of the corpus.

Why Lawstronaut for Valaisan legal research
Valaisan tax information is published across the cantonal tax service's website in two languages as a spread of law extracts, circulars, directives, forms, and practice notes — much of it in year-by-year PDF collections on vs.ch. For humans, that means slow, bilingual research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the source document directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Valais / Wallis legal coverage
Valais (Wallis) is a bilingual French- and German-speaking canton of Switzerland, a federal, civil-law confederation in which each canton legislates and administers its own taxes alongside federal law. Cantonal law is consolidated in the Recueil systématique de la législation valaisanne (RS/VS) and announced in the Bulletin officiel (BO) / Amtsblatt, while cantonal tax administration sits with the Service cantonal des contributions (SCC) / Kantonale Steuerverwaltung. The canton's core fiscal instrument is the Loi fiscale du 10 mars 1976 (LF). Lawstronaut's current Valais corpus is sourced from the Service cantonal des contributions on the French and German vs.ch portals — extracts of the Loi fiscale, circulars, directives, forms, and communications on cantonal tax practice.
Cantonal tax rules change regularly: tax forms and extracts are reissued for each fiscal period, circulars and directives are updated as practice evolves, periodic reforms of the Loi fiscale pass through public consultation and the Grand Conseil, and cantonal rules interact with federal direct tax (IFD) and inter-cantonal concordats. Point-in-time data straight from the tax service is what keeps a Valaisan tax or legal answer correct for the year in question — telling one annual edition from the next, with the right version and retrieval date attached, in the right language.
