  • 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.

  • Social Discipline, the Ban, and Political Resistance Among Swiss Anabaptists, 1550-1700
    The Limits of Confessionalization: Social Discipline, the Ban, and Political Resistance Among Swiss Anabaptists, 1550-1700 JOHN D. ROTH* Abstract: Although historians have frequently emphasized the political, social, and religious radicalism of the Anabaptist movement, this essay suggests that in the context of seventeenth-century efforts to impose new forms of central state control over villages in the Swiss Cantons of Zurich and Bern, Anabaptism attracted new members in the countryside precisely because it preserved an older, medieval ideal of a Christian community, capable of self-regulation and self-discipline. At a time when the central authorities were seeking to take control of village Chorgerichten (morals courts) as institutions of social discipline, Anabaptists doctrines and practices gained support as a means of preserving the traditional ideal of a “moral community” made up of members whose disciplined lives were pleasing to both God and their neighbors. On the afternoon of September 29, 1614, Hans Landis—a 70-year-old, self-educated farmer from the Swiss hamlet of Horgen—was led in chains to the main moat (Hauptgrube) at the outskirts of Zurich. There, only hours after the city’s Great Council had judged him guilty of “stubborn and seditious rebellion,” he spoke some final words to a hastily assembled crowd, granted the executioner’s request for forgiveness, and knelt before the executioner’s sword.1 By the time of his death, Zurich authorities were well acquainted with the gray-bearded Landis. Some twenty-five years earlier, in 1589, he, along with fourteen other peasants, had been imprisoned in the *John D.

Regional economic disparities in Switzerland are among the lowest among OECD countries. With a productivity growth of 1.7% per year over the period 2008-14, Ticino not only had the highest level of productivity in 2014 but also recorded the largest growth among Swiss regions. Following a significantly lower productivity growth (0.1% per year), Zurich was replaced by Ticino as the frontier region in terms of productivity in Switzerland in 2010. With a youth unemployment of 15.6% in 2017 that was similar to the OECD average, Lake Geneva had the highest youth unemployment in the country. Youth unemployment in Central Switzerland only amounted to 4.1%, 11.5 percentage points below the youth unemployment rate in Lake Geneva.
