Daniel Bader Ruth Bloch-Riemer In a popular referendum on November 30 2014, Swiss voters decided by a clear majority of 59.2% on the retention of the lump-sum taxation regime on a federal, cantonal and communal level. A separate vote in the Canton of Geneva had the same result on the cantonal level in Geneva: a majority of 68.7% of the Geneva voters decided on the retention of the lump-sum taxation regime on the Geneva cantonal level. Besides the retention of the lump-sum taxation regime, Swiss voters also clearly decided against the so-called Ecopop referendum, which would have foreseen restrictive requirements for immigration to Switzerland.
