Voters Approve Individual Taxation.

In a major shift for Swiss society, voters recently headed to the polls for the first national referendums of 2026. The most significant outcome was the approval of a reform to introduce individual taxation for married couples, effectively eliminating the long-debated marriage penalty where couples often paid more tax together than they would as individuals. Conversely, voters rejected an initiative to slash the national broadcasting fee, choosing to maintain the current funding levels for the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation.
