The Federal Council aims to reduce the administrative burden on companies in various sectors and thereby further strengthen Switzerland as a business location. At its meeting on June 19, 2026, it launched two public consultations on several tax simplifications.
In particular, the plan calls for expanding the annual VAT settlement to all companies, easing reporting requirements for withholding tax and securities transaction tax, extending the withholding tax reporting procedure to cover additional group relationships, and simplifying the process for corporate restructurings.
