Lucerne is set to overtake Zug as Switzerland’s most attractive canton for corporate taxation in 2026, according to a new analysis by consulting firm PwC.
Lucerne plans to cut its corporate tax rate to 11.66 percent, narrowly below Zug’s 11.71 percent, reinforcing Central Switzerland’s reputation as the country’s low-tax hub.
Several other cantons, including Zurich and Aargau, are also reducing rates, while Bern remains the most expensive location for businesses, with companies facing tax rates above 20 percent.
Despite global debate around the OECD minimum tax, PwC says most Swiss cantons have so far made only limited adjustments to their tax policies.
