With a yes vote of 41.9%, a popular initiative entitled "No tax gifts for major shareholders" was rejected, which provided for the abolition of partial taxation of dividends in the canton of Schaffhausen.
The partial taxation of dividends in the Canton of Schaffhausen will thus remain unchanged (see NZZ of 21 May 2017). The Schaffhausen voting magazine with further information on the rejected popular initiative can be downloaded here. The official voting result can be downloaded here.
