Tax aid measures
The Swiss Confederation has decided on a Corona shield. This includes tax aid for companies, the self-employed and freelancers in the corona pandemic to improve their liquidity. The measures will apply until the end of 2020.
- Tax authorities grant interest-free deferrals of tax liabilities
- Waiver of enforcement measures / suspension of enforcement
- Tax prepayments can be adjusted
- Deferral of social security contributions (application to the respective health insurance company)
As a rule, no deferral interest is incurred when deferrals are granted. However, wage tax and capital gains tax cannot be deferred. The tax office should refrain from enforcement measures.
