Switzerland, after years of tug-of-war of their tax privileges for foreign companies. The voting citizens have placed with the AHV-tax template as the basis for a tax system, the internationally accepted and business-friendly at the same time. Significantly to the resounding Yes from 66.4 percent has helped, that at the same time, the AHV receives annually 2 billion Swiss francs in addition. The criticism of the opponent, it was a horse-trading, has not deterred the voting public.
Nevertheless, must not be against business, but must remain the exception. The cantons can now prove in the case of the implementation of the national template that is pure tax reforms, a majority are capable of, if you come to both the company and the population of the country.
the easiest way is, if the cantons are pursuing a clear strategy in small steps. If you currently have some of the cantons lower their tax rates for company radically, such as the Vaud and Basel-city, then this shows that you have previously neglected your homework. For years, they have lived well thanks to the company with privileges. Although they all knew that their days were numbered.
businesses need predictability
Such an exemption, and strikes are risky. In Solothurn, the people said today, with 51 percent no. In Lucerne, the had get 2012 out, it seems the strategy is slowly paying off, but the Canton has had to take tough austerity measures.
How to do it otherwise, shows train. Often the tax dumping and accused the Canton has reduced its taxes continuously, but is by no means the cheapest location. More important is the company that he waives pushing exercises and, therefore, predictable and reliable. On the national level translated, this means that now the effects of the control template, before new reforms are in the pipeline.
Quite different in the case of the AHV: The additional financing, only a few years of giving air, the next Reform is to address swiftly. (Editorial Tamedia)
