Effective tax burden for highly qualified employees: Swiss can-tons remain attractive
The BAK Taxation Index 2021 shows that international tax competition continues in the area of highly qualified professionals: Internationally, the tax burden on their income has fallen slightly on average over the past two years. On the other hand, the average tax burden of the Swiss cantons has increased slightly. Nevertheless, the Swiss cantons remain in a good to very good position in the international ranking. All cantons tax professionals less heavily than the international average. The most important European competitor locations, in particular, show in some cases massively higher tax burdens.
