Swiss Tax Reform Sparks Debate

Published: 2025-03-03

Switzerland is debating a major tax reform that could change how families are taxed.

The proposed individual taxation system would tax each spouse separately, benefiting dual-income families.

Wealthier dual-income households could save up to 11,000 Swiss francs annually, while families with traditional roles might face up to 5,000 francs more in taxes.

The reform aims to treat married and cohabiting couples equally, but it could force many families to rethink their budgets.

The Swiss Parliament is now preparing for a decisive vote on this controversial issue.
