Alt NR Köppel ist Moskau-Habitué und Putin-Versteher. BR Rösti „tendierte“ vor den Wahlen zu Trump. NR Martullo-Blocher glaubte noch vor wenigen Wochen, dieser sei ein „Freund“ der Schweiz. Und alt BR Maurer feiert in Peking mit Xi und den Diktatoren der Welt. Grenzenlose SVP-Liebe zum Autoritären.

Der BR bezeichnet Abschaffung #Eigenmietwert als "ausgewogen", und einige fragen, ob Eigentümer überhaupt profitieren ("Zinsen können ja auch wieder steigen").
Dann buttert der HEV 7 Millionen in Ja-Kampagne.
Das nennen wir Ökonomen "offenbarte Präferenzen". 😉

Abstimmungsbudget im Vergleich: Hauseigentümer machen Rekordsumme gegen Eigenmietwert locker
Welch ein Kontrast: Während der Hauseigentümerverband mit dem grössten je gemeldeten Abstimmungsbudget in den Kampf zieht, haben die Gegner nur wenig Geld zur Verfügung.

🚨 Updated paper alert! 🚨

Switzerland, the world’s most infamous tax haven, has seen a strong shift in tax compliance. How? A global crackdown on offshore tax evasion: the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI). 🌍💰

21st-century advanced-economy societies will be significantly shaped by the distribution of inheritance - in 🇨🇭 as well as elsewhere.

Hot topic in 🇨🇭: mobility responses to strongly progressive inheritance taxation.
A citizens' initiative proposes that estates should be taxed at a flat rate of 50%, starting at CHF 50m (~USD 45m).
What would be the likely effects?
