  • 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 Für Die S-Bahn St.Gallen 2013
    Mehr Zug für die S-Bahn St.Gallen 2013 Vorschläge für ein besseres Angebot im nördlichen Kantonsteil Motivation Nach jahrelanger Vorankündigung wurden im Herbst 2007 erste Details der nächsten Ausbaustufe der St.Galler S-Bahn bekannt. Mit ihr soll der Bahn2000-Taktfahrplan auch in unserem Kanton realisiert werden. Das ist erfreulich, und der VCS begrüsst jede Massnahme zum Ausbau des öffent- lichen Verkehrs. Damit dieses Ausbauprogramm in einigen Jahren realisiert werden kann, müssen die Weichen dafür heute schon richtig gestellt werden. Im politischen Entscheidungsprozess werden die verschiedenen Regionen das Paket aus ihrer eigenen Optik beurteilen. Dabei werden einzelne Mängel noch zu grossen Diskussionen führen. Es wäre fatal, wenn das Gesamtpaket wegen Einzelheiten und Partikularinteressen als Ganzes in Frage gestellt würde. Die Gestaltung von öV-Angeboten ist komplex. Viele Randbedingungen sind zu beachten und sich gegenseitig ausschliessende Varianten sind schwer unter einen Hut zu bringen. Für Aussenstehende ist oft unverständlich, wel- che Konsequenzen Einzelmassnahmen haben können und warum sie darum nicht realisierbar sind. Der VCS möchte mit eigenen Vorschlägen aufzeigen, wo und mit welchen Massnahmen noch Verbesserungen möglich sind. Damit wollen wir einen Beitrag leisten zur kommenden Diskussion über die St.Galler S-Bahn. Alles Einsteigen bitte!

  • 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.
