SwissHoldings plays an important role as a hinge between politics, administration and business and strives to support the transfer of knowledge among the experts of our member companies. Against this background and due to the current tax developments, SwissHoldings successfully held a tax event today for the second time with top-class guests, at which the heads of tax of our members were able to exchange views directly with the Minister of Finance, the heads of the cantonal tax administrations and a top-class delegation from the FTA and the SIF. The topic was the implementation of the OECD minimum taxation
SwissHoldings counts 61 large industrial and service companies among its members. As a professional association, one of our essential tasks is to network them with each other in order to improve the transfer of knowledge among the experts. With this goal in mind, the association held the second SwissHoldings Tax Talks this afternoon. In addition to the more than fifty heads of tax of our member companies present, Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer, many heads of the cantonal tax administrations as well as a top-class delegation from the Federal Tax Administration (FTA) and the State Secretariat for International Financial Matters (SIF) took part.
The aim of the Tax Talks was essentially to offer the guests present a platform on which they could exchange views on implementation issues of the OECD digital taxation project at eye level. The main point of discussion at the event was how our companies – together with the relevant cantonal authorities – can implement the tax reform as efficiently as possible and in line with the OECD requirements.

After the welcoming speech of our Director, Gabriel Rumo, Finance Minister Ueli Mauer laid the foundation for the subsequent in-depth discussion of the implementation aspects of the OECD minimum taxation in his keynote speech. After this initial overview, the specific implementation issues were then discussed in greater depth in two high-level panel discussions involving the guests present. SwissHoldings would like to thank Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer, the speakers (Nicole Krenger; Thomas Brändle; Gabriel Candil), the panel participants (Erich Ettlin; Fabian Baumer; Andreas Wurster; Thomas Brändle; Kristin Sperling; Eva Frehner; Gabriel Candil; René Röthlisberger), the moderators (Adriaan Bax; Martin Hess) and the guests present from the worlds of administration, business and politics for the extremely successful exchange.
