Marriage Tax And Cash.

Swiss voters headed to the polls for the year's first national referendums, reaching several landmark decisions. Voters approved a shift toward individual taxation, effectively ending the marriage tax penalty where married couples often paid higher taxes than cohabiting partners. A proposal to enshrine the availability of physical cash in the constitution was accepted, reflecting a strong national desire to protect traditional payment methods alongside digital options. Voters rejected a high-profile initiative to drastically cut the annual radio and TV license fees, choosing to maintain current funding levels for public broadcasting.
