Bör skatteavdragen för barn ökas?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This reform proposed increasing two child-related deductions from national income tax. The maximum deduction for external childcare costs would rise from CHF 10,100 to CHF 25,000 per child, while the general child deduction would rise from CHF 6,500 to CHF 10,000. Supporters argued that families faced high costs and deserved greater tax relief, and that the childcare deduction could help parents remain in employment. Opponents argued that the general deduction would mainly benefit higher-income families and that the estimated CHF 380 million in annual lost revenue could be used for more targeted family support. Swiss voters rejected the reform.
