Changes in immigration law
Unchanged free movement of persons until 2017. At present, negotiations
with the EU as follows:
• Maintaining of the bilateral agreements
• Immigration must be influenceable by Switzerland
• Significant economic needs must be considered (initiator's statement)
Conclusions
• Outcome open since the EU's reaction is pending
• Worst case scenario: quota system like we had before 2002, ZG was always able to
cover their requirements
• Alternative scenario: additional vote considering all the pros and cons

The EU demands to abolish the privileged taxation since activities abroad are
taxed less than domestic activities. Corporate tax reform III
The aim of the reform is to keep the business location as one of the most
attractive as well as to maintain the international acceptance of the new tax
measures.
Aims
• Future stability and planning security, and therefore, settlement of the tax dispute
• International competitive corporate tax reform (ZG 12% - 12.5% ordinary rate)
• Internationally accepted tax measures starting 2019 (e.g. licence box)
• Solid financial situation in Switzerland allows long-term attractive taxation
