At a media conference on 9 January 2018, Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer presented the arguments of the Federal Council in favour of adopting the new Financial Regulation 2021.
The corresponding constitutional amendment will ensure that the federal government can continue to levy its two most important sources of revenue, direct federal tax and value added tax, in the future. The continuation of these two taxes at federal level was undisputed in parliament.
The corresponding press release is available here.
