Geneva voters will be deciding next month if tax should drop significantly next year.
The right-wing dominated cantonal government says its only fair as the state’s coffers are full, and the population should benefit.
On average, the cut will be 8.7%.
The government says it’s the right thing to do – the middle classes rarely get anything back and this will boost spending power when the people are suffering higher health insurance premiums and inflation.
But the left say it will starve communes of cash - over 100 million a year. They say it will hit extracurricular activities for school, elderly care and social assistance.
They also say the proposed cuts are too broad – they should really have been focused on the lower earners.
