The economic research institute has examined the effects of these concessions on the tax burden of companies in the individual cantons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\"> According to the results, they reduce the effective average tax burden of a company on the Swiss average from 13.5 to 12.2 percent, explains BAK Economics. Very research-intensive companies could even reduce their exposure by an average of 4.3 percentage points to 9.2 percent. For the cantons, the benefits for spending on research and development (R&amp;D) represented an internationally accepted substitute for the tax privileges abolished by the TRAF in addition to promoting <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Innovation&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Innovation in der heutigen Immobilienwelt bedeutet vor allem Digitalisierung von Prozessen.

The low-tax cantons of Nidwalden and Obwalden continued to occupy the top positions here. &quot;However, some high-tax cantons with a generous design of the R&amp;D instruments can significantly reduce their burden,&quot; writes BAK Economics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\"> Specifically, &ldquo;the bottom three in ordinary taxation&rdquo;, Bern, Zurich and Aargau, &ldquo;for companies with very high R&amp;D intensity towards the middle of the ranking&rdquo;. The canton of Geneva has the highest average tax burden for companies with high R&amp;D expenditure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basel &#8211; Die im Zuge der Reform der Unternehmenssteuern eingef\u00fchrten steuerlichen Beg\u00fcnstigungen von Forschung und Entwicklung st\u00e4rken die Innovationskraft der Kantone.
