Swiss cantons increase their attractiveness as business locations
The BAK Taxation Index shows that the tax burden for ordinarily taxed companies in the Swiss cantons has decreased significantly as a result of the Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF). At the same time, the tax burden in international competitor locations has remained comparatively stable over the past two years. This has further improved the tax attractiveness of the Swiss cantons. For the first time, a Swiss canton has superseded the previous leader Hong Kong from the top spot, with numerous cantons following closely behind.
