At its meeting on 31 May 2017, the National Council, as the first Council to deal with the matter, will adopt a motion instructing the Federal Council to harmonise the interest rates in federal tax decrees in such a way that a generally applicable default and remuneration interest rate is established.
According to the motion by Matthias Samuel Jauslin (16.3055), the Federal Council should be instructed to harmonise the interest rates in federal tax decrees in such a way that a generally applicable default and compensation interest rate is established. The reference interest rate should be firmly linked to market developments. The Federal Council proposes that the motion be rejected.
The National Council (first-degree council) accepted the motion in its session of 31 May 2017. In the next step, the motion will be discussed by the Council of States.
The minutes of the National Council meeting are available here.
