  • Switzerland Tax Alert
    International Tax Switzerland Tax Alert 15 April 2014 Cantons announce lower headline tax rates in anticipation of Corporate Tax Reform III Contacts Switzerland is considering a comprehensive corporate tax reform, referred to Jacqueline Hess as the “Corporate Tax Reform III,” that could result in the phasing out of [email protected] certain tax regimes, such as the holding, mixed and domiciliary company regimes between 2018 and 2020. The regimes would be replaced with a Jacques Kistler variety of other measures. [email protected] Ferdinando Mercuri The overriding objective of the contemplated reform is to secure and [email protected] strengthen the tax competitiveness and attractiveness of Switzerland as an international location for corporations. To achieve this objective, the steering Rene Zulauf committee in charge of the reform considers it an imperative that the tax [email protected] system offer competitive tax rates that are accepted internationally. Daniel Stutzmann-Hausmann [email protected] The changes recommended by the steering committee are, in part, a response to concerns raised by the European Commission that some of Switzerland’s tax rules constitute unfair tax competition and are in violation of the 1972 Switzerland-EU Free Trade Agreement. The steering committee has recommended several measures to replace the holding, mixed and domiciliary company regimes that would accomplish the dual goals of tax competitiveness and international acceptance. These measures include: • A “license box” for income arising from the exploitation and use of intellectual property; • A notional interest deduction on equity; and • A general reduction of the headline corporate tax rate (effective combined federal/cantonal/communal rate).

  • The Reformation in St. Gallen and Appenzell
    chapter 6 The Reformation in St. Gallen and Appenzell Erich Bryner 6.1 Introduction After Zurich, St. Gallen was the second town in the Swiss Confederation to join the Reformation.1 The monastery of St. Gallen had its roots in the hermitage established by Gallus, an Irish-Scottish monk, in 612 ce. In the 8th century the foundation became a Benedictine monastery that in the course of the 9th and 10th centuries would develop into an important cultural center for central Eu- rope. A community of craftsmen and servants grew up around the monastery and in time formed a town. In 1080 that town was granted imperial free status. By the middle of the 15th century there were two political institutions in St. Gallen: the abbey of St. Gallen, which had an extensive territory that includ- ed the Fürstenland (the lands between the localities of Wil and Rorschach) and Toggenburg (since 1468), and the town of St. Gallen, which had become po- litically independent. Both prince-abbey and city-republic became associated members (zugewandte Orte) of the Confederation, the former in 1451 and the latter in 1454. Their geography was highly unusual in that the monastery was completely surrounded by the city, and the city by the territory of the Fürsten- land. At times the monastery and the city were on relatively good terms, but friction and disputes were not uncommon, a reality that played out in particu- lar at the time of the Reformation.2 Since the early Middle Ages the town had been renowned for its linen pro- duction.
