VAT rise planned to fund pensions by 2026
The Swiss Federal Council has proposed increasing the VAT rate by 0.7% from 2026, raising the standard rate from 8.1% to 8.8%.
This measure is intended to help finance the 13th old-age pension payment (AVS – Old Age and Survivors Insurance), which will take effect in 2026.
