At its meeting on 19 September 2017, the Council of States discussed the interpellation "Tax penalty for saving and investing".

Andrea Caroni's interpellation "Tax penalty for saving and investing" (17.3427) requested that questions be answered concerning an ideal tax system that should be neutral with regard to whether someone makes his consumption immediately or defers it by saving (or investing). The Federal Council's written answer partially satisfied the interpellation and was settled with a brief discussion in the Council of States in its session of 19 September 2017.
