Zug Canton's Contributions to Swiss Financial Equalization Jump from CHF 180 to 530 Million
Zug canton's contribution to Switzerland's financial equalization system has jumped from CHF 180 to 530 million, according to the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. In 2027, redistribution under this system will surge by an additional approximately CHF 500 million. Meanwhile, financial capacity disparities between cantons are widening, contrary to legal requirements. To prepare for the next redistribution battle, Zug is financing a research center using revenues from the OECD minimum tax, a move the canton defends against criticism.
