- A clear no to larger child deductions for federal taxes is emerging.
- In the latest SRG poll, 52 percent of those eligible to vote wanted to reject the proposal at the polls.
- On voting Sunday, non-participation is over 60 percent according to projections.
The latest poll on the bill already showed a trend toward no. But in the end, the approval was now “completely collapsed”, sums up the gfs.bern institute’s Lukas Golder the clear verdict of the extrapolation.
This trend reversal is typical of templates that fly under the population radar for a long time. For a long time there was a yes, but suddenly the weaknesses were becoming more and more known. And the main argument against this communication was that “very few had benefited from these impressions.” That was the deciding factor. “This proposal completely failed,” says Golder.
What the squad wanted
It should be easier to reconcile family and work, especially for mothers. This objective was at the beginning of this tax proposal. The Federal Council proposed that the deduction for children’s outpatient expenses be increased from the current CHF 10,100 to CHF 25,000 in direct federal tax. Later, Parliament doubled and also increased the general allowance for children from 6,500 to 10,000 francs.
The commoners brought this demand to parliament, against the will of the Federal Council. The deduction increases regardless of whether the children are cared for by their parents or outside the home. CVP submitted the request to the National Council.
The Council of States initially resisted the suggestion and only narrowly agreed at the request of the unification conference. The cantons’ finance directors also rejected the increase, claiming that the cantons had never been heard on the issue. Because the SP then called the referendum, the people have the last word on September 27.
Those who earn the most are those who benefit the most
What the bourgeoisie in parliament called easing the burden on families bothers the Social Democrats and the Greens in particular. The highest overall deduction benefits the highest earners, who make up about six percent of households, the SP justifies its referendum, which the Greens and a liberal committee support.
The FDP, GLP and Young Green Liberals committee speaks of a “self-service package” that in no way makes a return to paid employment more attractive to women.
Face template
According to the Federal Council, about 40 percent of families in Switzerland do not pay direct federal taxes because their income is too low. You do not benefit from the highest deduction. In contrast, 60 percent of families who owe direct federal tax could benefit.
According to estimates by the Federal Council, the highest deductions would result in total tax losses of 380 million Swiss francs. Due to the crown, tax losses are also temporarily reduced by between 50 and 100 million francs, according to federal estimates.
