Total Tax Contribution

What is your company's overall tax contribution?


It is now more important than ever for your company to understand its total tax contribution to the economy and to society.


The amount of tax paid by large businesses is coming under increased scrutiny. Yet they pay considerably more in tax than it might first appear. Clear tax reporting is essential for investors, employees and other stakeholders to understand the economic contributions a company makes through taxes.


A company's tax contribution and its tax strategy should be looked at from the point of view of all the taxes it bears and collects – its total tax contribution.


This is why PwC together with economiesuisse is now launching the first Total Tax Contribution Survey in Switzerland. The first results will be published in October of 2009.


Having a clear understanding of its total tax contribution can enable a business to make thoroughly informed business decisions and demonstrate and communicate its social and economic impact and improve monitoring and managing tax risk.



 


New survey: Total Tax Contribution

To what extent do large corporations contribute to Switzerland's tax revenue?


These days, the way corporations are taxed is intensely scrutinised by the public at large. Simultaneously, pressure is also building up from another side: reporting and transparency requirements for companies are becoming more and more stringent. This then is the setting against which it is becoming increasingly important for companies to understand and monitor their total tax contribution to the government and communicate it accordingly. In a new survey, PwC and economiesuisse have for the first time calculated the actual tax contribution made by the largest Swiss enterprises to Switzerland's tax revenue.
