The abolition of Switzerland’s controversial rental value tax is suddenly in doubt.
A new Tamedia poll shows support for the reform slipping from 65% in August to 54% today, while opposition has surged from 30% to 44%.
The swing is driven largely by French-speaking Switzerland, where 63% now reject the change, as well as by urban voters and a strong media campaign uniting parts of the left and right.
Opponents warn of lost deductions, higher costs for tenants, and reduced cantonal revenues. Proponents still argue the rental value is an unfair tax on “fictitious income.”
The outcome on September 28 remains wide open.
