Its administration is committed both to supporting a world-class economy and to working closely with business circles and is geared towards efficient solutions

The Basel-Landschaft administration is committed to furthering a world-class economy and views itself as an efficient provider of services. The fiscal administration, with its quick and exemplary tax rulings on mergers, conversions, demergers, land sales and international tax matters, is a perfect illustration of this attitude. Businesses can count on quick, reliable answers to their tax questions.

Working in close contact with the local businesses, the cantonal government council ensures that the current business-friendly tax and administration framework remains sustainable.

Our new headquarter in Liestal has been realised, thanks to the seamless cooperation of the cantonal and local authorities. The excellent transport connections are an additional asset.

Attractive fiscal conditions

The Basel-Landschaft corporate tax rates are very attractive as compared to most other countries and moderate as compared to the rest of Switzerland. The planned corporate tax reform (SV17) is bound to make fiscal conditions even more attractive. Unlike many other cantons, Basel-Landschaft does not tax real estate nor trade income. It offers specific advantages and incentives to companies, including a generous tax treatment of reserves accrued to finance fundamental research. The cantonal government is set on preserving this business-friendly tax climate to secure the canton’s competitive position.
