Taxpayers must be taxed regardless of their marital status. The Federal Council sent its individual tax plan to Parliament on Wednesday. The reform should lead to a drop in tax revenue of one billion francs for the year 2024.
The transition from joint taxation of spouses to individual taxation has two main goals: to abolish the “penalization of marriage” at the fiscal level, and to encourage more people to work, above all women.
The Federal Council’s project is a response to the popular initiative of PLR women “For individual taxation independent of civil status”, in the form of an indirect counter-project. The government recommends the rejection of the initiative, on the grounds that its counter-proposal will achieve the same objective more quickly.
According to estimates, direct federal tax revenues, calculated for fiscal year 2024, would fall by a billion. The Confederation will compensate up to 800 million, the cantons 200 million.
