  • Clarity on Swiss Taxes 2019
    Clarity on Swiss Taxes Playing to natural strengths 4 16 Corporate taxation Individual taxation Clarity on Swiss Taxes EDITORIAL Welcome Switzerland remains competitive on the global tax stage according to KPMG’s “Swiss Tax Report 2019”. This annual study analyzes corporate and individual tax rates in Switzerland and internationally, analyzing data to draw comparisons between locations. After a long and drawn-out reform process, the Swiss Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF) is reaching the final stages of maturity. Some cantons have already responded by adjusting their corporate tax rates, and others are sure to follow in 2019 and 2020. These steps towards lower tax rates confirm that the Swiss cantons are committed to competitive taxation. This will be welcomed by companies as they seek stability amid the turbulence of global protectionist trends, like tariffs, Brexit and digital service tax. It’s not just in Switzerland that tax laws are being revised. The national reforms of recent years are part of a global shift towards international harmonization but also increased legislation. For tax departments, these regulatory developments mean increased pressure. Their challenge is to safeguard compliance, while also managing the risk of double or over-taxation. In our fast-paced world, data-driven technology and digital enablers will play an increasingly important role in achieving these aims. Peter Uebelhart Head of Tax & Legal, KPMG Switzerland Going forward, it’s important that Switzerland continues to play to its natural strengths to remain an attractive business location and global trading partner. That means creating certainty by finalizing the corporate tax reform, building further on its network of FTAs, delivering its “open for business” message and pressing ahead with the Digital Switzerland strategy.

  • Zug (8Th) and Basel (10Th) Rank Far Ahead of Lausanne (36Th), Bern (38Th), Zurich (41St), Lugano (53Rd), and Geneva (69Th) in the Expat City Ranking 2019
    • Zug (8th) and Basel (10th) rank far ahead of Lausanne (36th), Bern (38th), Zurich (41st), Lugano (53rd), and Geneva (69th) in the Expat City Ranking 2019. • Based on the ranking, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, Montréal, Lisbon, Barcelona, Zug, The Hague, and Basel are the best cities to move to in 2020. • Kuwait City (82nd), Rome, Milan, Lagos (Nigeria), Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Lima, New York City, and Yangon (73rd) are the world’s worst cities. Munich, 3 December 2019 — Seven Swiss cities are featured in the Expat City Ranking 2019 by InterNations, the world’s largest expat community with more than 3.5 million members. They all rank among the top 20 in the world for the quality of life, receiving mostly high marks for safety, local transportation, and the environment. On the other hand, expats struggle to get settled, with Zurich and Bern even ranking among the world’s worst cities in this regard. While the local cost of living is rated negatively across the board, the performance of the Swiss cities varies more in the Finance & Housing and Urban Work Life Indices. The Expat City Ranking is based on the annual Expat Insider survey by InterNations, which is with more than 20,000 respondents in 2019 one of the most extensive surveys about living and working abroad. In 2019, 82 cities around the globe are analyzed in the survey, offering in-depth information about five areas of expat life: Quality of Urban Living, Getting Settled, Urban Work Life, Finance & Housing, and Local Cost of Living.

  • Mobility-Go Genf Basel
    MEDIENMITTEILUNG Rotkreuz, 02 December 2020 Mobility Go: stop in Geneva, ongoing operation in Basel While the free-floating scheme Mobility Go offers promising prospects in Basel and will continue to operate there, it will be discontinued in Geneva at the end of 2020. The reason for this is the lack of demand, which has continued to decline as a result of COVID-19. Mobility will invest the funds it saves in this way to expand its electric mobility programme. The free-floating scheme Mobility Go allows vehicles to be located and booked in real time and then parked in a public parking space at the end of the journey. This spontaneous form of car sharing has been available to users in Basel since 2014, while in Geneva it was introduced four years ago. But Mobility will be closing down the programme in Geneva at the end of this year, says Managing Director Roland Lötscher: “Mobility Go was not profitable in Geneva – and would not have been in the foresee- able future. As an SME and a cooperative, we have to invest intelligently and sustainably. That’s why we have decided to put an end to the scheme in Geneva – though it hasn’t been an easy decision.” COVID-19 has been a key factor here: while classic, station-based car sharing in Geneva (123 vehicles at 41 locations) was able to recover quickly after the lockdown in spring, the already fragile figures for usage of Mobility Go continued to decline. This was particularly due to the loss of the popular commuter trips.

  • ESP Advanced Training Centre for Nephropathology Basel, Switzerland
    ESP Advanced Training Centre for Nephropathology Basel, Switzerland University Hospital Basel Institute of Pathology Schönbeinstrasse 40 CH-4031 Basel Switzerland Prof. Dr. Markus Tolnay (head of the institute) PD Dr. Helmut Hopfer (head of training program in nephropathology) Many renal biopsies in Europe, both native kidney and kidney transplants, are processed and signed out by specialists as they require a technical work-up (light microscopy, immunofluorescence or immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy) not available at many institutes and a deep knowledge of renal pathology. In many European countries, there is an obvious need for more pathologists familiar with nephropathology. The Institute of Pathology at the University Hospital Basel has a long track record in the field and is very active in training renal pathologists as well as in organizing continuing medical education in nephropathology (e.g. nephropathology working group of the ESP, Basel Seminars in Pathology: Renal Transplant Pathology, Hands-on Courses). We sign out approximately 750 renal biopsies per year (around two thirds are from native kidneys). All necessary techniques are established at the Institute. We have a close collaboration with our clinical colleagues with regular clinicopathological conferences. Our Institute will offer 3 months modules (basic, advanced, electron microscopy) which will be based on the daily routine as well as consultation cases and cases from the archive. Teaching languages are German or English, a good knowledge in either of the two languages is a prerequisite. Training periods can start at the beginning of every month as arranged with the fellow. We will be able to offer a maximum of two positions per year.

  • Local and Regional Democracy in Switzerland
    33 SESSION Report CG33(2017)14final 20 October 2017 Local and regional democracy in Switzerland Monitoring Committee Rapporteurs:1 Marc COOLS, Belgium (L, ILDG) Dorin CHIRTOACA, Republic of Moldova (R, EPP/CCE) Recommendation 407 (2017) .................................................................................................................2 Explanatory memorandum .....................................................................................................................5 Summary This particularly positive report is based on the second monitoring visit to Switzerland since the country ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Government in 2005. It shows that municipal self- government is particularly deeply rooted in Switzerland. All municipalities possess a wide range of powers and responsibilities and substantial rights of self-government. The financial situation of Swiss municipalities appears generally healthy, with a relatively low debt ratio. Direct-democracy procedures are highly developed at all levels of governance. Furthermore, the rapporteurs very much welcome the Swiss parliament’s decision to authorise the ratification of the Additional Protocol to the European Charter of Local Self-Government on the right to participate in the affairs of a local authority. The report draws attention to the need for improved direct involvement of municipalities, especially the large cities, in decision-making procedures and with regard to the question of the sustainability of resources in connection with the needs of municipalities to enable them to discharge their growing responsibilities. Finally, it highlights the importance of determining, through legislation, a framework and arrangements regarding financing for the city of Bern, taking due account of its specific situation. The Congress encourages the authorities to guarantee that the administrative bodies belonging to intermunicipal structures are made up of a minimum percentage of directly elected representatives so as to safeguard their democratic nature.
