In the view of the Federal Council, the bill offers a balanced solution to two pressing problems. It secures jobs and tax revenues and at the same time strengthens the AHV. The Federal Council therefore recommends that the Federal Tax Reform and OASI Financing Act (STAF, formerly SV17) be adopted.
According to the FTA's press release of 18 February 2019, the new bill takes account of criticism of two bills rejected in 2017: the concerns of the cities and municipalities are taken into account, and the additional tax burdens and relief are more balanced. The additional financing of the AHV creates a social compensation for the tax relief for companies.
