The Zurich electorate is deciding whether the tax deductions for health insurance premiums should be increased.
Zurich’s voters decide whether they want to pay less tax. That is the idea behind the justice initiative of the SVP. Specifically, health insurance deductions in the tax return are to be increased – to CHF 3,600 for adults and CHF 1,500 for children. In addition, the deduction should no longer be linked to inflation, but to the development of premiums.
The Zurich government is against this initiative and has drawn up a counter-proposal. This stipulates that the tax deductions will only increase slightly for adults – to CHF 2,900. Inflation should continue to be decisive for the amount of the deduction.
SVP and EDU support the initiative. This concerns relieve the middle class. The FDP, EPP and Mitte are in favor of the counter-proposal, since acceptance of the initiative would mean a drop in revenue of CHF 150 million for the cantons and municipalities. SP, Greens, AL and GLP reject both models, since the burden on small and medium-sized businesses can only be relieved with higher premium reductions.
