The year 2025 introduces several legislative changes in the field of direct taxes. Regarding teleworking, the legislator has implemented a new provision to limit taxation in Switzerland for employees working abroad on behalf of a Swiss employer, provided that an international treaty grants Switzerland the right to tax that income. This is a significant amendment, as it establishes a legal basis in domestic law to tax such international cases, which are increasingly common in the modern labor market.
Also in 2025, new rules for the taxation of life annuities have come into force. Until last year, these were taxable at a rate of 40%. However, a new formula has been introduced to better account for the interest component. Consequently, given the historically low interest rates of recent years, the taxation of life annuities is expected to decrease, as it typically represents a reimbursement of premiums and the interest accrued on them.
Additionally, starting in 2025, administrative assistance between tax authorities and commercial registry offices has been established to combat fraudulent bankruptcies in cases where a legal entity fails to produce its annual accounts.
Finally, an overview will be provided of the legislative amendment dated December 20 concerning the Federal Direct Tax Act (LIFD) and the Federal Tax Harmonization Act (LAID) regarding the abolition of imputed rental value. For this reform to take effect, Cantons must have the option to levy a property tax on secondary residences.
