Tax incentives are an important element of business location promotion and, particularly in Switzerland, constitute a key pillar of the country’s attractiveness as a business location.

This is leading to a fundamental shift in business location policy. Against this backdrop, the question arises as to the future role of “Qualified Tax Incentives” (QTI) in Switzerland.
