On September 29, 2017 the Swiss Federal Council adopted adopted the Ordinance on the International Automatic Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports of Multinationals. If the referendum deadline expires on October 5, 2017 without a referendum being called, the agreement and the act can enter into force in December 2017.

 

Multinationals in Switzerland will thereby be obliged for the first time to draw up a country-by-country report from the 2018 tax year. The exchange of country-by-country reports between Switzerland and its partner states will therefore take place from 2020. Groups can voluntarily submit a country-by-country report for tax periods before 2018 which the Federal Tax Administration (FTA) can transmit on the basis of the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on the Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports to partner states from 2018.

 

The Federal Council adopted the Ordinance on the International Automatic Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports of Multinationals before the expiry of the referendum deadline so that companies who wanted to submit a country-by-country report for 2016 could prepare themselves.

 

The Ordinance on the International Automatic Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports of Multinationals contains the Federal Council's implementing provisions for the Act mentioned. It specifies the content of the country-by-country reports and the threshold above which companies have to draw up country-by-country reports (900 million CHF). In addition, it contains further implementing provisions, for example on the tasks of the Federal Tax Administration (FTA).
