  • 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.

    Coronavirus – Benötigen Sie Unterstützung? Seit Monaten ist unser Leben geprägt vom Coronavirus und den Massnahmen, die zur Eindäm- mung der Pandemie ergriffen worden sind. Von den Verhaltensempfehlungen betroffen sind insbesondere Personen über 65 Jahren und Menschen mit Vorerkrankungen, die als Risiko- gruppen gelten. Kantonale Institutionen, Gemeinden und Pfarreien bieten praktische Hilfe- leistungen an. Auch die Einsamkeit ist ein Thema: Allein lebende Personen leiden verstärkt unter einem Mangel an zwischenmenschlichem Austausch. Appell an Menschen, die Risikogruppen angehören: Befolgen Sie weiterhin die Verhaltensregeln des Bundesrates. Halten Sie Abstand, vermeiden Sie Orte mit hohem Personenaufkommen und lassen Sie sich bei Bedarf helfen. Wenn Ihnen der zwischenmenschliche Austausch fehlt: Nutzen Sie die Gesprächsangebote des Roten Kreuzes und der Pro Senectute. Auch die Kirchen bieten Seelsorge und persönlichen Austausch an.
