The years-long dispute over the abolition of the imputed rental value could soon be over. The responsible Council of States Commission wants to approve a compromise proposal from the National Council that proposes a complete change of the system.
For a long time, the two councils did not agree on whether the imputed rental value should also be abolished for second homes. The National Council was for it, the Council of States was against it – at least so far. Now a solution is emerging.
With a vote of 9 to 4, the Economic Commission of the Council of States (WAK-S) spoke out in favor of a complete system change, as the parliamentary services announced on Tuesday. The condition for this is that cantons are simultaneously given the opportunity to levy a property tax on second homes. The National Council has already agreed to a corresponding constitutional basis. The WAK-S moved with 8 votes to 4 to follow this decision.
The business could be settled in the winter session – after years of back and forth. (sda)
