Why is there always someone who tries to ruin stuff for us married and working..
Desperate housewives are lossing the leverage not to go to work
This referendum highlights the deep complexities of tax reform in a society that values both fairness and family. While individual taxation is often seen as a step toward gender equality and economic independence, especially for women, it’s crucial to consider the unintended consequences for single-income households and families with uneven earnings.
That said, the current system has long been criticized for penalizing married couples, particularly when both partners work. The challenge lies crafting a tax system that reflects Switzerland’s evolving social and economic realities, while being fair.
>Individual taxation would not lead to greater equality, the group argues. Instead it would penalise families, since married couples with only one income or very different incomes would be taxed significantly more than couples with two similar incomes.
Would taxes of single-income households increase?
We just can’t have nice things…
I’m all for individual taxation; down with the unfair marriage tax (“Hochzeitsstrafe”)!
on the one hand, i consider it unfair that a couple with mr making 200k and mrs not working is taxed less than a couple with mr and mrs each earning 100k (especially adding kids into the mix so the second couple has to pay the childcare).
on the other, if this makes it so the tax rate of individual incomes goes up and penalizes single individuals (already some of the most burdened people in terms of housing cost and scarce tax reductions), i do not consider this fair. singles can deduct half the cost of replacing a heater at home for example than married people do. but can they buy half a heater ?
