Another chapter of the reform of the current Swiss corporate tax system has just started. The referendum on Tax Reform and AHV Financing was successfully called and the public vote on 19 May 2019 will tell us where the story goes. Thereby, the main goal remains unchanged: the long-term tax attractiveness of Switzerland as business location shall be ensured.

In light of the above, the following insights will be presented:

• The demands on Switzerland
• The content of the reform
• The measures
• The timeline
• Next steps
