On the 19. May the Switzerland about horse-trading. In particular, the so-called AHV-tax deal (STAF). The corporate tax reform (USR) IV corresponds Essentially to the nearly 60 percent of the people rejected, USR III. The biggest Change in the controller, it took the Parliament in the name of: “corporate tax reform” was the “AHV-tax template” (STAF). Also contained in the name additional financing for the AHV is true, but you can’t compensate for the Billions of losses for the Federal government, the cantons and the municipalities. In addition, the financing of the AHV is a constitutional mandate to the Parliament – even the Civic talk in the media that additional financing for the AHV “was necessary anyway”.
the Content has changed, namely the criticism of the exploitative Swiss tax dumping in the interest of the richest one percent of nothing: Instead of the old abolish tax privileges simply creates the STAF new tax gifts for companies and large shareholders. So large is makes it possible for companies with different tax tricks, up to 70 percent of its profits from the taxes to be deducted. When could you make this the last Time in your own tax return?
And especially, who pays for the failures?
For the expected Tax losses of over two billion Swiss francs per year, the Federal government, cantons and municipalities will have less money for Premiums, nurseries and education. So two possibilities remain: Either you increase taxes for the normal people – or to build on the public Service. Of these reduction measures, women are affected by the way disproportionately: first, women working in these areas, the majority of which are directly most affected by a performance degradation. In addition, will be relocated as a result of this reduction in parts of paid work in the private sphere: If it Cribs less children-courts, kept the child home or to the grandparents. This unpaid care and care work is also done predominantly by women.
“when will you make the last Time your tax deductions?”
Finally, the STAF does nothing to change the “blind spot” of the Swiss tax policy: international tax dumping. With the General income tax cuts, this is exacerbated even more: Switzerland sold at a bargain price the big corporations. Up to 36 go abroad for a year (!) Billion Swiss francs in Tax revenues lost. So redistribution is amplified by the global South to the North instead of mined. This promotes poverty, unemployment and lack of prospects. In short: The (national and international) tax competition, benefit only a wealthy Elite and harm the people here and elsewhere massive. What Switzerland needs is to finally have a policy in the interests of the 99 percent and not the big corporations, and major shareholders. The 99-percent-the Initiative of the Juso Switzerland, the capital income such as interest and dividends, higher than wages in the best want to tax, is a first step in the right direction. The STAF is, however, a step in the wrong direction.
Because at the end of the invoice will be payed by the 99 percent of people, whether here or elsewhere.
