In November 2024, Genevans overwhelmingly approved a historic reduction in cantonal and communal taxes, the first since 1999. This major reform, approved by more than 61%, brings significant changes for all Geneva taxpayers from the 2025 tax year.
A differentiated decrease according to income
The Geneva reform does not benefit all taxpayers uniformly. The decreases vary according to income brackets:
- Middle class (75,000–150,000 CHF): reduction of up to 11.4%.
- Modest incomes (<75,000 CHF): average reduction of 8.8% (approximately CHF 870 saved for CHF 50,000 of income).
- High incomes (>200,000 CHF): 5.3% reduction.
Transition to 12 monthly installments
From 2025, the payment of installments will increase from 10 to 12 monthly installments, improving the distribution of expenses.
