Highest profit tax

With an ordinary profit tax of 21.6 percent, the city of Berne is the cantonal capital with the highest tax burden for companies in Switzerland. Only Sion in Valais has a tax burden of the same magnitude. The single municipalities within the canton of Berne are not cheap either. Companies located in the municipality of Schelten in the Bernese Jura pay the most (23.4 percent). With a profit tax burden of 20 percent, Deisswil is the least expensive municipality in the canton of Berne. In an intercantonal comparison, however, even this percentage is still quite high. Companies based in Berne pay almost twice as much as companies based in the tax haven of Appenzell Innerrhoden (11.5 to 12.7 percent depending on the dividend distribution).

Top tax rate of 42.2 percent

The canton of Berne is an expensive place for natural persons as well. At least if one has considerable financial means at disposal. The top tax rate in the capital is 41.4 percent, which puts Berne in 23rd place in an intercantonal comparison. People who live in the municipality of Schelten pay 45.7 percent, while the lowest top tax rate is again in Deisswil at 37.2 percent.
