Should homeowners stop paying tax on living in their own home?

This vote proposed abolishing the tax that homeowners pay on the estimated rental value of living in their own home. Supporters argued that people should not be taxed simply for living in a home they own and that the tax discouraged home ownership. Opponents argued that removing the tax would mainly benefit wealthier homeowners, reduce government revenue, and create unfair differences between homeowners and renters.

The proposal was rejected by Swiss voters.
