Swiss Federal Council Warns Against Juso Initiative on Millionaire Inheritance Tax
The Swiss Federal Council is cautioning about the potential negative impact of the Juso initiative, which proposes a 50% tax on inheritances and gifts over 50 million francs to fund climate protection. The Council believes that implementing this initiative could lead to a significant reduction in tax revenues as many wealthy individuals may leave Switzerland. Despite the push for social climate policy financing, the Federal Council has rejected the initiative and will not offer a counter-proposal.
