  • 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.

Buffi 13, CH 6904, Lugano, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] Daniela Cristofoli, PhD Assistant Professor in Public Management Faculty of Economics, Università della Svizzera italiana Via G. Buffi 13, CH 6904, Lugano, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] Laura Maccio PhD students in Public Management Faculty of Economics, Università della Svizzera italiana Via G. Buffi 13, CH 6904, Lugano, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] “When politics does matters: Explaining the reactions of Swiss municipalities at amalgamation wave. Introduction Switzerland is a federalist country in the core of Europe. It is made up of 26 Cantons and approximately 2,500 municipalities. About 55% of the municipalities have less than 1,000 inhabitants and only eight municipalities have more than 500,000 inhabitants (Swiss Federal Statistical Office, 2010). Swiss municipalities are very different from the social, cultural and political standpoints (Steiner 2000). However, each one is responsible for providing a wide range of public services, for instance: education during the compulsory time of schooling, social services, utilities and waste disposal, local police, granting of civil rights and internal organization of the civil authorities, etc. During the 90s, the growing citizen demand for high quality services and the strict budget constraints of many municipalities (Ladner and Steiner 1998) raised a political debate on how to ensure effective and efficient fulfilment of municipal tasks. In this debate, amalgamation emerged as a “panacea” to handle the financial distress faced by many Swiss municipalities and often considered due to their small size (Dafflon 2001; Ladner 2001; Soguel 2001).

Quinn: Canton Ticino And The Italian Swiss Immigration To California Canton Ticino and the Italian Swiss Immigration to California by Tony Quinn “The southernmost of Switzerland’s twenty-six cantons, the Ticino, may speak Italian, sing Italian, eat Italian, drink Italian and rival any Italian region in scenic beauty—but it isn’t Italy,” so writes author Paul Hofmann1 describing the one Swiss canton where Italian is the required language and the cultural tie is to Italy to the south, not to the rest of Switzerland to the north. Unlike the German and French speaking parts of Switzerland with an identity distinct from Germany and France, Italian Switzerland, which accounts for only five percent of the country, clings strongly to its Italian heritage. But at the same time, the Ticinese2 are fully Swiss, very proud of being part of Switzerland, and with an air of disapproval of Italy’s ever present government crises and its tie to the European Union and the Euro zone, neither of which Ticino has the slightest interest in joining.
